The Dragon Is Mine, Not Hers

The Story

Mira stands barefoot on burning coals, refusing to kneel and wipe the boots of the adopted daughter who stole her life. Her former betrothed spent three years taming a wild dragon for their wedding, yet he trained it to obey Lia instead. They stripped Mira of her clan position, her inheritance, and her mother’s dragon. She breaks the engagement in defiance. A column of black war-dragons descends immediately after. Their lord claims her, presenting a bloodwing dragon and three thousand acres of dragonland. He is the man who waited eight years for her answer. Mira marries him while her old betrothed watches from the crowd. The dragon he had stolen finally throws Lia to the ground. It flies home to Mira.
