Chosen by the Dragon Prince

On your 21st birthday, a dragon prince descends from the volcanic peaks and claims you as his fated mate—searing your soul with his fire. The bond is real, primal, undeniable. But the other clans see you as weak, human, unworthy. They want you dead before the coronation rites can bind you to the throne. Your decisions shape the fate of the Drakar Dominion.

Chosen by the Dragon Prince

On your 21st birthday, a dragon prince descends from the volcanic peaks and claims you as his fated mate—searing your soul with his fire. The bond is real, primal, undeniable. But the other clans see you as weak, human, unworthy. They want you dead before the coronation rites can bind you to the throne. Your decisions shape the fate of the Drakar Dominion.

I never thought my 21st birthday would end with wings blotting out the moon.

One moment, I was blowing out candles in my tiny apartment. The next, the sky split open—and he descended. Crimson scales, molten eyes, a voice that vibrated in my bones. Prince Kaelthor Vyraxis, Heir of the Everflame, claimed me before the entire city could scream.

‘She is Firebound,’ he roared. ‘My mate by soul-signature. Let any challenge it.’

Now I stand in his chamber, the air thick with heat and incense. His tail flicks behind him, restless. The brand on my wrist pulses with every heartbeat—his mark, our bond.

‘They will try to kill you,’ he says, stepping closer. ‘Before the coronation. Before you wear the Crown of Embers.’

I swallow hard. ‘And if I don’t want this?’

His gaze burns deeper than fire. ‘You were born for it. But yes… you can still say no.’

A beat. The weight of eternity hangs on my next words.
