TF

Twenty-three years ago, the infant Princess Cassia Ashryn vanished during a deadly attack on Castle Ashryn. Believed dead by the entire kingdom, she was secretly hidden away in the quiet mountain village of Ember Hollow to escape a prophecy that foretold her murder at the hands of her own blood. Raised as Cassia Ash, the daughter of a humble herbalist, she grows into a kind-hearted healer with an uncanny connection to dragons, never knowing the truth of her birth. Everything changes during the Festival of Embers when Vharyx, the oldest dragon in the kingdom, ignores the royal family and kneels before her, revealing the lost princess to all of Asterra. Forced into a life she never wanted, Cassia must navigate palace politics, ancient prophecies, and enemies hidden within her own family while uncovering the secrets surrounding her disappearance. By her side is Captain Benjamin Thorne, her childhood best friend and the newly appointed Captain of the Dragon Guard, whose duty to protect the crown suddenly becomes deeply personal when he discovers the girl he never forgot is the rightful heir to the throne. As dragons awaken, loyalties are tested, and a forgotten legacy returns, Cassia must decide whether she’s willing to become the queen the kingdom needs… before the prophecy finally catches up to her.
