They Fed My Daughter to Dragons—Now Face Their King

The Story

Eighteen-year-old stable maid Laila tends to a dying dragon, only for Crown Prince Darian to condemn her to a cage with seven starving beasts. The creatures spare her life and choose to protect her instead. News of this anomaly travels to her father, Kael, a quiet Greyforge blacksmith who has concealed his true identity for eighteen years. The royal family responds by tightening the First Lock and summoning every rider, hunter, and court member under its rule. Kael abandons his quiet life and walks into the capital to rescue his daughter. His arrival forces the entire kingdom to confront the First Black Dragon King.
