Lyra died in absolute agony when her sadistic royal husband incinerated their newborn baby in dark fire and tore the beating heart from her chest to empower his sorcery. Awakening years earlier at the imperial Selection Ceremony, she finds herself facing the very dragon prince who slaughtered her family. To her horror, her murderous former mate also retains memories of their future timeline, sneering with arrogant certainty that she will submit once more.
Defying the entire royal court, Lyra rejects the crown prince and points her ceremonial blade toward his frail, outcast half-brother. The instant their fingers brush, ancient draconic lightning explodes across the cathedral, revealing an authentic primordial soul link that eclipses the royal throne. Alongside her underestimated prince, Lyra prepares to annihilate her former murderer and seize the dragon crown for herself.
