Crown of Ash

For five hundred years, dragons have belonged to the fae.

Chained. Controlled. Broken.

And every century, one dragon chooses an Aegis-a protector sworn to serve the kingdom of Solmere.

Seren Hawthorne never expected to witness the ceremony.

A farmer's daughter from a forgotten village, her greatest dream was simply to see the golden capital beyond the mountains. Instead, she watches an ancient dragon shatter her chains, escape captivity, and cross an entire arena to kneel before her.

Chosen before kings, nobles, and warriors far more worthy, Seren is thrust into a world of dangerous politics, hidden magic, and secrets older than the kingdom itself.

But the dragon's choice was only the beginning.

As strange powers begin to awaken within her, Seren discovers that Solmere was built upon a forgotten oath-one powerful enough to ignite a war between dragons and fae. Caught between an ancient prophecy, a prince determined to understand her, and a mysterious commander whose loyalties may not be what they seem, Seren must uncover the truth before the kingdom tears itself apart.

Because dragons do not choose by accident.

And the fate of an entire world may rest upon the secret hidden within her blood.
