Kairo grows up believing he is merely an ordinary, low-ranking lizard shifter born to humble provincial farmers who weave straw sandals for subsistence. On the morning of his nuptials, his ambitious fiancée and her snobbish aristocratic clan tear up their marriage agreement in front of hundreds of mocking guests, throwing wine in his face and ridiculing his elderly parents as filthy peasants.

Shifting into his own majestic dragon sovereign lineage, Kairo witnesses the arrogant in-laws drop to their knees in absolute terror. With supreme draconic dominion restored, Kairo prepares to settle every slight against his royal honor.
