In a kingdom where magic is feared and monsters are hunted, nineteen-year-old Lyra Vale has lived her entire life believing she was ordinary. Until the night the sky bleeds red. After a brutal attack destroys her village, Lyra is rescued by the mysterious Kael Draven - a cold, dangerously powerful heir haunted by secrets of his own. Forced into the heart of the Golden Capital, Lyra becomes entangled in a web of ancient prophecies, forbidden magic, and truths the kingdom buried centuries ago. Because the palace remembers her. Locked doors open at her touch. Forgotten voices whisper her name in the dark. And the portrait of a long-dead queen looks exactly like her. As strange powers begin awakening inside her one by one, Lyra realizes she is no ordinary human. She carries forbidden bloodlines no one believed could exist together - witch, werewolf, vampire, fairy... and something far older. Something even dragons fear. But every new power brings her closer to a terrifying prophecy foretelling the fall of the Veil separating their world from the ancient horrors beyond it. And Kael knows more than he admits. Torn between duty and desire, Kael is bound by a deadly oath: if Lyra's final bloodline awakens, he must kill her before she destroys the realm. But as war brews, kingdoms crumble, and long-extinct dragons begin to rise from the shadows, Lyra uncovers a devastating truth: She was never meant to save the kingdom. She was meant to open it. Now hunted by enemies, betrayed by allies, and drawn to the one person sworn to end her, Lyra must decide who she truly is before the darkness beneath the kingdom awakens. Because once the Dragon Queen rises... Nothing will survive unchanged.
