The Dragon's Due: A Warrior Princess's Reckoning

A kingdom fractured. A princess exiled. A pact broken.

Princess Elysia inherits not a crown of gold, but a crown of thorns. Eldoria, her kingdom carved from sapphire mountains and emerald valleys, teeters on the brink of ruin, bound by an ancient, terrifying pact with the mighty Solara dragons. When her ambitious cousin, Prince Regulus, seizes the throne in a bloody coup, Elysia barely escapes with her life, fleeing into the unforgiving embrace of the Dark Forests.

Guided by the stoic Hunter Kennedy, a man haunted by a past as dark as the forest itself, Elysia discovers a secret history – a bitter rivalry between the Solara, guardians of light, and the Obsidian Claws, dragons of shadow and rage. This ancient feud, etched into the very fabric of Eldoria, echoes within Elysia's own blood, a legacy both magnificent and terrifying.

Within the forest's depths, Elysia encounters Zarthus, the dragon elder, whose amethyst scales shimmer with the wisdom of ages. He reveals the existence of the Sunstone, a relic shrouded in myth, a key to a devastating truth that Regulus desperately seeks – a truth that could shatter the realms.

As Regulus unleashes a reign of terror, fueled by the Obsidian Claws’ fury, Elysia must forge unlikely alliances. She finds strength in the Sylvans, a nomadic people whose lives intertwine with the forest’s rhythms, and in Jennifer Silva, a Sylvan warrior scarred by the Obsidian Claws’ brutality, whose loyalty burns bright against the encroaching darkness.

But whispers of treachery slither through Elysia's ranks, and the dragon pact, once a source of immense power, begins to twist within her, mirroring the Obsidian Claws' insatiable hunger. The Sunstone reveals a horrifying secret: the dragons are not guardians, but prisoners, bound by an ancient curse. Elysia’s quest for vengeance transforms into a desperate fight for liberation – not just for her kingdom, but for all the realms.

To break the curse, Elysia must confront not only Regulus and his Obsidian Claw allies, but also the darkness within herself. She must make the ultimate sacrifice, relinquish the very power that defines her, and embrace a destiny far greater than the throne she has lost. In the heart of a final, devastating battle, amidst the ruins of a Sylvan city, Elysia will choose between perpetuating a cycle of suffering and forging a new path – a path of understanding, compassion, and ultimately, hope.
