Isola is the Red Dragon Queen, and her son Leon was born with a bloodline too unstable to survive in the dragon realm. To protect him, she seals away most of her own power and vanishes with him into the mortal world, living as a nobody.
There, the noblewoman Arianna humiliates her again and again, and Isola takes it to keep Leon safe. When the dragon race drags her back, she lands in the middle of a power struggle and a crisis over Leon's blood. The question is whether a boy raised in hiding can face his own blood and claim what belongs to him, while his mother finally stops bowing to anyone.
