The Dragon Guardian's Betrayal

Lioran Sterling, the last dragon of Great Yan, became mortal and Grand Preceptor after casting ten divine statues. Empress Zara Yan, after conquering six kingdoms, feared his merit, demoted him, and ordered the statues smashed. 500 years later, statues bled, demons were born, chaos erupted. Lioran left. The realm was in turmoil: kingdoms rose up, a princess rebelled. The empress begged him to return but was rejected, until a nine-tailed fox possessed the prime minister and overturned the court.
