Crown and Dragon’s Breath

In a realm ruled by magic and dragon-blood royalty rests the last royal Scale-Kissed Dragon Egg — an ancient relic with primal flame power enough to upend the kingdom. Elowen Ashcroft, a servant from a fallen noble house, is thrust into ruthless royal intrigue. When Prince Rowan’s crown fire awakens the violent, world-consuming dragon egg, only Elowen — the realm’s sole Dragon Whisperer — can calm its flames and guide its safe hatching. Bound to the egg by a consent-based Flame Pact, she bears a unique fire mark, yet claims no royal power. Still, greedy nobles, corrupt academy leaders, and the scheming Beatrice target her, framing her as a thief to seize the dragon’s forbidden power. Refusing all bribes of title and wealth, Elowen defends her free will. Entangled in lies, tampered ancient grimoires, and lethal magic plots, she strives to protect the dragon egg, reclaim her mother’s lost legacy, and break the chains of her rare gift. As every power in the realm seeks to control the dragon’s might, the unyielding Whisperer defies the crown. Alone in a storm of magic and monarchy, she chooses her own fate — and determines the future of the dragon and the kingdom.
