Seraphina, the Phoenix Princess, is betrayed and murdered by Aldric, the dragon prince she once loved, after he steals her Soulstone for Lysara, a false Phoenix. Reborn on the night of choosing, she rejects Aldric, selects the overlooked black Drake Kael, and lets Aldric’s arrogance destroy him during the Storm Trial. Kael proves his worth, becomes the Dragon Clan’s heir, and gives Seraphina a second life built on revenge, power, and real love.
