The Healer Chosen by the Dragon King: From Betrayed Outcast to the Dra
"You're nothing but a bastard child with dirty blood. You'll heal our soldiers, then disappear—that's all you're worth." The words of Seraphina's own half-sister echoed as she was dragged before the Royal Court, stripped of her title, and offered as a sacrifice to save the kingdom.
Seraphina Ashborne was once a noblewoman, daughter of a duke—until the day her father's legitimate family publicly revealed her mother was a commoner he never married. Overnight, she lost everything: her name, her inheritance, her fiancé who immediately wed her cruel half-sister. Now branded a bastard and enslaved as a royal healer, she's sent on a suicide mission: heal the dying Dragon King, humanity's greatest enemy, or be executed for treason.
But when she arrives at the Obsidian Mountains, the fearsome Dragon King Kaelith Drakormor isn't the mindless beast she expected. He's a broken warrior poisoned by a weapon forged from his own family's murder, dying slowly and refusing all help. His rage could incinerate kingdoms, yet when her hands touch his wounds, something impossible happens—the poison responds to her, and her alone.
"You smell like moonflowers and lies, little healer," he growls, his golden eyes burning into hers. "What are you really?"
Forced into proximity as his only chance for survival, Seraphina discovers the Dragon King's coldness hides devastating grief and betrayal that mirrors her own. As she tends his wounds, he begins to soften, showing her a gentleness the world believes him incapable of. And as he teaches her that strength isn't just in healing but in claiming what's hers, she realizes her power was never ordinary.
But the poison wasn't an accident—it's part of a conspiracy that destroyed both their lives. When Seraphina's true identity surfaces, revealing she's the lost heir to an ancient bloodline that once united dragons and humans, she becomes the key to either peace or total war.
Her former family wants her dead. The human kingdom wants to use her. And the Dragon King? He'll burn the world down before he lets anyone take her from him.
One truth remains: the healer and the dragon were always meant to find each other—and together, they'll rewrite fate itself.
