Forbidden Honor: Dragon Royals, Book 1
In a world where dragon shifters dominate,society is built on rigid norms-male,powerful,and unyielding. But when an orphaned servant, raised in the shadows of their rule, undergoes a transformation that defies expectation, the consequences ripple through their carefully structured world. Instead of the anticipated squirrel form, she awakens with wings, fire, and a presence that destabilizes the fragile order. As she navigates this new reality, the burden of hiding her true nature becomes a constant challenge, blending danger, ambition, and self-discovery. Her journey is one of resilience, as she faces skepticism and hostility from those who see her as an anomaly, all while forging unexpected bonds that question everything she thought she knew about power, identity, and belonging.
At the heart of the narrative lies a tension between tradition and rebellion. The dragon royalty, steeped in centuries of duty and rivalry, must confront a figure who disrupts their carefully orchestrated hierarchies. Whether in the quiet of the palace or the chaos of battle, her dual life-servant by day, warrior by night-creates a gripping interplay of strategy and vulnerability. Interactions with the brooding hero, the ruthless strategist, the sharp-tongued twins, and the enigmatic prince unfold with layers of intrigue and emotional complexity, pushing her to challenge their assumptions and, perhaps, shift the balance of power itself.
