Dragon's bane Telekai's flame
In a small village, a bulky man with bronzed skin sat with his daughter, Ireal. Her porcelain complexion, white hair, and piercing blue eyes made her look like a noble, a stark contrast to her rugged father.
Ireal's innocent gaze met her father's as she asked, "Father, why are you crying?"
The hunter's forced smile faltered, and he was taken aback. "What did you say, Ireal?" He tried to compose himself. "I'm not crying, so why would you say that?"
Ireal's expression remained clear and unwavering. "I can hear you crying, Father. You're sad because Mother died." She took a step closer, her small hand reaching out. "You're in pain, and I don't want you to hurt. I'll take care of you for Mom."
The hunter's eyes welled up with tears as he chuckled, his voice shaking. "Silly girl." He looked at her with newfound curiosity. "Do you mean you can hear my thoughts?"
Ireal nodded, her blue eyes sparkling. "Yes, Father. Mother knew about it, and she told me not to tell anyone."
In a world where dragons reign, a teenage girl's life is forever changed. Ireal, an orphaned infant, was found and adopted by a loving hunter couple. But after her adoptive mother's tragic death, Ireal's village is ravaged by dragons seeking the prince's mate. Among the captives, Ireal is unexpectedly chosen by the prince, thrusting her into a realm of magic, politics, and ancient secrets. As she navigates this new world, Ireal must confront her destiny and the mysteries of her past.
Will Ireal accept her new role as the prince's mate, or will she fight against her fate? What secrets lie hidden in Ireal's past? Can Ireal navigate the treacherous world of dragons or will she become a pawn in their games of power? Will she be able to love prince Kael or destroy him for destroying her people?
