**CHAPTERS ADDED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS** The legendary Nightflare dragon has belonged to Kastaris's Phoenix heir, Prince Cyrix- a ruthless, inevitable future king whose Rite of Ascension is meant to cement his rule. Everyone knows how this story goes. It doesn't. The dragon hatches for Lyria, the overlooked second princess of Valenstead: politically expendable, closely watched, and very much not supposed to exist anywhere near prophecy. The bond marks her as something she was never meant to be, and immediately places her at the center of a conflict neither kingdom can afford. Valenstead fears what she represents. Kastaris demands what was promised. And Cyrix is not accustomed to being denied, especially by destiny itself. As tensions escalate toward war, Lyria is forced to navigate a court that no longer trusts her, a power she never asked for, and a prince who believes the dragon was stolen from him; but can't decide whether he wants to reclaim the creature or the woman it chose. The bond wasn't a mistake. It was a threat. And if Lyria can't uncover why the dragon chose her, she may become the justification for a war that burns both kingdoms to the ground.
