Three Little Dragons, One Secret Heir

Betrayal fuels a mother's fiery climb through royal courts and ancient bloodlines.

Serena Ashborne watches her fiancé and stepsister carve the Dawnfire Core from her chest before tossing her into the lightless Abyssal Rift. The core reveals itself as a living rebirth dragon, sparing her life and delivering three dragonlings in the dark. Two hatchlings cling to her while the third drifts to Kael Draven, sovereign of the Drakari. Five years forge her into a weapon; she storms back into Vale, seizes the stolen core, and dismantles the traitors who shattered her world. A trail of magical relics then pulls her toward the Middle and High Realms, where royal houses, mage orders, and the ancient Drakari bloodline converge. When word arrives that her mother lives and prepares to wed into House Wren, Serena slips into the western ceremony in disguise, unaware that Kael and their missing son have also come to the same estate.
