No Mercy for the Broken Dragon

Elowen of the noble dragon-flame House Dravenmoor was once the beloved young lady of the family. Everything changed when Seraphina, who forged a dragon-blood mark to fake her identity as the true dragon heir, came back. To hide her secret, Seraphina pushed old Duchess Evelira off the Dragon Tower and framed Elowen for the crime. Locked in the brutal Black Tower for two years, Elowen was tortured and her left dragon arm broken, forcing her to rely on a silver prosthetic made of dragonbone. After being released and returning home, she faced endless misunderstanding and humiliation from her parents and elder brother Cassian, who forced her to confess to a crime she never committed. To repay her supposed debt of upbringing, Elowen agreed to an arranged marriage with Kael, Crown Prince of the Night Realm, rumored to be cursed by frost and mentally immature. At the wedding, Grandfather Orrin exposed her disabled arm, while King Dorian granted Elowen full regency power. Elowen soon found Kael had pretended to be feeble-minded to survive vicious court power struggles. Driven by overwhelming jealousy, Seraphina repeatedly plotted against her and lured her into a deadly trap. In the end, paralyzed mute Evelira regained her voice, revealing Seraphina was a witch’s daughter and Elowen the genuine Dravenmoor heir. Belated remorse could never heal Elowen’s lifelong wounds. Rejecting her family’s pleas for forgiveness, she left Dravenmoor alongside Kael to embrace freedom and a brand-new life.
