On the day her three-year contract expired, Serra, the adopted daughter of the Fire Dragon Clan, used the water mirror divination in the Temple of Life and discovered she was carrying the Dragon Emperor’s twin children. Knowing the domineering Black Dragon bloodline would never allow its offspring to wander the wilds, Serra chose to hide her pregnancy and sever their blood bond without hesitation, fearing her babies would become pawns in the royal power struggle. Upon returning to the Stonefire Dragon Clan, Serra was met with endless exploitation. Her greedy adoptive father planned to strap a cruel Soul-Devouring Forbidden Magic Collar to seal her magical power, forcing her to marry the repulsive Venomous Swamp Dragon Lord for a hefty bride price. At the critical moment, the Dragon Emperor—who had long fallen hopelessly in love with her—descended as an ancient black dragon that blotted out the sky, a wrathful god of slaughter. He crushed all those who had wronged Serra beneath his apocalyptic black flames. Once the royal high priest uncovered the truth of her twin pregnancy, Aurelius embarked on an overbearing, obsessive journey to win back his mate.
