My husband was a Gold dragon. So was I. Yet I gave birth to a small Ice Blue dragon. Then came the news: my younger half-sister had borne a Gold dragon for his younger brother. Her fame spread like wildfire. Drakon Vexis, the Crown Prince, flew into a fury. He slaughtered my child. He threw me into the frozen dungeons, where I was tortured and starved until I breathed my last. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day of my coming-of-age ceremony—the day the dragon court chose its brides. Without hesitation, Drakon chose my sister. I knew then. He had been reborn too.

After three years of bloody battles in the Northern Territory, General Theo Howard vanquishes enemy chieftains and secures the borders, only to witness his loved ones being tormented in his hometown—his sister bullied by a wealthy scoundrel, his mother kneeling in court pleading injustice only to be beaten with rods! Government offices collude with the powerful who run rampant, even martyr pensions are swallowed by corruption... Theo removes his battle robe and unsheathes his cold blade: “This kingdom, I will protect; this human world, I will set right!” From the countryside to the imperial court, from slaying tyrants to protecting the monarch, a storm of blood and violence sweeps through.
