Snowlily2930
For a hundred years, the sky has been empty.
Dragons vanished the night humans tried to chain them. Kingdoms fractured. Sanctuaries became slave markets. And crowns were forged from ash instead of flame.
Now power belongs to whoever can afford it.
Aeryn Vale is sold like livestock in the capital's grand auction, beneath the ruins of a dragon amphitheater where sovereigns once stood. She expects nothing from the world except survival.
But when the stones beneath the arena tremble and an ancient presence answers her heartbeat, the impossible awakens.
Not one dragon.
All of them.
From volcanic peaks to the deepest trenches of the sea, something stirs at the sound of her blood - blood that carries a dormant lineage older than the betrayal that broke the skies.
Kings call her weapon.
Priests call her blasphemy.
Rebels call her salvation.
Because in a world where whoever holds a dragon rules the kingdom...
What happens when one girl is chosen by every dominion?
As fire rises and chains begin to break, Aeryn must decide whether she will become the crown the world fears...
Or the flame that burns it down.
