E39

Synopsis

Twenty-three lashes killed her mother. She waited fourteen years. On her first day at court, she offered a cheap bracelet to pass the King's test—and made him remember her. Pregnancy. Exile. The death of her son. She lost everything, then woke a dragon beneath the mountain and uncovered the truth of her Vaelor blood. Three years later, she returned on dragonback, dethroned the Queen, deposed the King, and took the Crown. Asterra will never have a King again. Only a Dragon Empress.
