The pharaohs believed they had won; she would prove them wrong.

------------

For three generations, the pharaohs of Ankhta waged war on the sand dragons, pushing them to the brink of extinction. Once revered across the vast desert kingdom, the dragons were forced to take human form to survive.

Young Tahirah has never known the feel of the sweet desert wind blowing over her scales or the thrill of hunting hippopotamus in the Sen-nu River. Her destiny is simple: marry her neighbor's son and increase the population. But when one of the pharaoh's sons stumbles upon the village, Tahirah's mother sees an opportunity to infiltrate the palace and exact revenge on the god-king.

Taken into the pharaoh's household as a royal concubine, Tahirah must navigate the complex politics of the harem -- all while keeping her draconic identity and her growing love for a palace guard a secret.

The Bound and The Broken

40 parts Complete Mature

In a realm fractured by rebellion and centuries of mistrust, Princess Kiralyn Vaelora has spent her life behind palace walls, trained to be a symbol of unity while never truly trusted with the crown she's meant to inherit. When she's taken hostage by Cael Draven-the exiled prince of the once-feared kingdom of Varanor-she expects cruelty, not diplomacy. But Cael doesn't want war. He wants peace, and he's willing to risk everything to force the world to see Varanor not as rebels, but as survivors. What begins as a political standoff soon unravels the truths both of them were raised to believe. As Kira and Cael navigate fragile truces, simmering attraction, and the haunting power of their rare, forbidden bond, they uncover secrets that shake the foundation of both their kingdoms-including a plan that would see Cael destroyed and Kira used as a weapon. With rebellion reignited and loyalty torn between blood and heart, Kira must choose: follow the legacy of a mother who would burn the world to control it, or stand beside the enemy she was never meant to love. To protect the future, she will have to break everything. Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, political intrigue, dragon bonds, and fierce heroines claiming their own power.
