The Bride of the Banished Dragon

The Story

Framed by Serafina for destroying a dragon egg, Lyra falls into the palace depths where she finds Caelen Drax, an imprisoned dragon. A scale Lyra carries breaks his chains, allowing them to escape with the hatchlings. Together, they uncover Irathea’s dark secret. The monarchy steals dragon younglings’ flames and uses falsified records plus a sacred dragon egg to force loyalty. Lyra discovers her true name, Lyra Draxen, while Caelen remains tied to Irathea’s first crown. In the final clash, Lyra refuses to swap one tyrant for another. She melts the crown, creates a council, and gives every dragon a voice. She chooses Caelen.
