The Alpha Rejected Me, But the Dragon King Claimed Me

On the day meant to secure her future, Selene is framed, rejected by the Alpha King, stripped of her crest, and exiled by her own mother. Her silver eyes become linked to a curse, and everyone assumes she has vanished. Fifteen years later, she returns as Empress of the Sacred Dominion, ruling its prosperous crystal mines from a dragonbone throne. The Dragon King’s claim adds another powerful force to her transformed life. Her return brings authority, but not peace. When her adopted son arrives with the daughter of Selene’s betrayer, she must face the wound that shaped her while old enemies begin circling again. As hidden truths rise into view, those who cast her aside are forced to reckon with the ruler she has become - and with the identity they believed they had erased.
