After One Night with the Dragon King

Seraphina, a dragon‑blood half‑breed, is born unable to shift into dragon form. Her fiancé Damon publicly breaks off their engagement, and the pure‑blood princess Vexia crushes her scales to humiliate her. On the eve of her coming‑of‑age ceremony, she acts on impulse and spends the night with a stranger. Upon waking, she discovers he is none other than Silas, the youngest Dragon King of the dragon clan. That night re‑ignites her long‑dormant dragon blood, leaving an invisible burning brand etched into her palm. At the coming‑of‑age ceremony, where everyone waits to witness her disgrace, she steps onto the high platform. The dragon flames bow and pay homage to her. The High Priest, stunned, proclaims: “This half‑dragon possesses one‑hundred‑percent dragon‑flame compatibility.” The Dragon King, who had watched everything with cold detachment, had already transfused his own dragon blood into her veins the night before.
