Twenty years ago, a queen gave birth to a black dragon egg, deemed a curse and cast into the sea. Her mother tore off her heart-scale to protect it and was enslaved. Now, Sera—raised in Dragoncliff—descends to find her origins, rescues her mother, and confronts the false princess and tyrant king. She defeats dragons with her bare hands, makes the Death God kneel, and unleashes pureblood dragon might to claim the throne. After vanquishing a demon, Queen Sera soars over the reborn kingdom as dragon eggs crack open everywhere—the dragon clan is reborn.

Arthur Arcadia is the unwanted son of a mafia heir, surviving brutal school bullying and underground fights to pay for his dying mother's treatment. When the father who abandoned him suddenly returns, Arthur discovers the truth: he is only being used for a suicide mission—to infiltrate a deadly underground casino and steal a ledger capable of destroying the criminal empire. There, he meets Chloe Falcone, the godfather's equally unwanted daughter. Together, two family outcasts fight their way through drug lords, betrayal, and bloodshed. Once treated as disposable pawns, they become the greatest threat to both families—and Arthur rises from forgotten bastard to the man who owns the empire.
