Pregnant with the Dragon Lord's Last Heir

Laila, a penniless widow under Governor Barrow’s tyranny, is driven over a cliff and lands in the sacred dragon realm. Her encounter with King Kael carries dangerous consequences: he is bound by a curse that scorches any woman he touches, yet their fated night leaves Laila carrying the dragon clan’s future. After ten months, Laila gives birth to an egg and places it with the dragon clan while Barrow’s pursuit threatens her. When a temple proclamation calls for someone able to hatch it, she tears down the notice and steps forward. Scorned by nobles, she must face the court, protect her child, and confront the forces that once left her powerless. Her struggle brings Kael back into her life as questions of identity, loyalty, and belonging test whether a commoner can claim a place beside dragon royalty.
