A Queen who chose to be a Shield, not a Storm.
Destiny made a correction the day the "perfect" SkyWing heir died, leaving the kingdom to Angela-the spare, the scholar, the anomaly. While her mother ruled with cruelty, Angela ruled with questions, uncovering a shattering truth in the dust of the royal library: the ancient war against "scavengers" was a lie born of dragon greed.
Refusing to inherit a legacy of slaughter, Angela saves a human named Bran from the dungeon and unleashes a secret Animus power to break the language barrier forever, forcing her tribe to hear the pleas of the prey they once silenced.
Twenty years later, the Sky Kingdom is a miracle of coexistence. Humans ride dragonback in the Aerial Legion, and the Hanging Cities glow with safety. But beyond the granite borders, the world remains hungry. Princess Burn of the SandWings seethes in the desert, plotting to shatter this fragile peace and restore the old, bloody order.
Haunted by the fear that her own daughter might revert to the violent instincts of their ancestors, Angela prepares for the ultimate siege. She secretly constructs the Iron Heart-an impregnable sanctuary buried deep in the earth-vowing that even if her dynasty fails, the human race will endure.
In a world defined by fire, Angela must prove that the strongest claws are the ones that refuse to kill.
