"You dare show me mercy? I, who burned kingdoms to ash?" Elara Veylin has been called weak her whole life. Her gentle healing skills are useless in a kingdom that values warrior magic and dragon-slayers. It was a joke that cost her everything. On the night of her engagement party, her fiancé cheats her in public with her stepsister, and her merchant father kicks her out of the family business for "embarrassing the family name" in front of the Dragon Corps elite. Elara is thrown out with nothing and falsely accused of taking family jewels. She is then given the worst punishment possible: she is sent to the Emberlands jail to take care of the empire's biggest secret. This is Drakarion, the Last Flame. After refusing to be the empire's weapon for three hundred years, the old dragon was chained and abused until he went crazy. His power was then used to power the army that killed his kind. Every keeper that was sent to him either ran away in fear or died trying to show who was boss. Elara doesn't try to control him, though. She simply tends his wounds. A soft voice. Shows him the first real kindness he's experienced in three hundred years. And it breaks something inside him. When she touches Drakarion and his chains crack in a strange way, an old soul bond starts to work, connecting their lives, magic, and even their heartbeats. If she dies, he dies. If he flees, she's killed as a traitor. But here's the twist: Elara's "weak" healing magic is actually Lifeweaving—a banned art the empire exterminated because it's the only power that can repair what they destroyed: the dragons themselves. As the bond between them deepens and Drakarion's humanity reawakens, Elara learns the horrifying truth: her family built their wealth on dragon blood trade, and her stepsister is now engaged to the Commander who organized Drakarion's capture. They want the dragon's heart to finish a ritual that will make the kingdom invincible. Elara faces an impossible choice: stay the gentle nurse everyone despises, or accept the bond with a creature of vengeance and burn down the empire that broke them both. The girl they called weak will teach them that kindness can be deadly. The dragon they called monster will learn that love is more frightening than rage. And together, they'll set the world ablaze—with kindness and fire intertwined.
