They threw her from the sky, expecting her to shatter. Lyrix was born wrong, a dragonborn without wings, without fire, without worth. The Dragon Realm discarded her to the mortal world, certain she'd die before her first breath finished. But she didn't die. She survived twenty-three years scrubbing tavern floors and stealing to eat, never knowing the realm that abandoned her had signed decrees to ensure children like her stayed buried. Then she bled on a sword that shouldn't exist. When her blood awakens the first of the Nine Blades of Dominion, ancient weapons feared across realms, every supernatural faction in three territories wants her, dead, controlled, or claimed. The Vampire King offers protection in exchange for her proximity, and Lyrix accepts because she's survived this long by knowing when she's outmatched. What she doesn't know is that his signature authorized her abandonment four hundred years ago, or that her blood restores sensations he thought he'd lost forever to the gray death of immortality. Power demands payment in pieces of your soul. Each blade she claims makes her more formidable and less recognizably human. Each encounter with the Vampire King tangles attraction with hatred, strategy with genuine feeling, until she can't separate manipulation from connection. When she discovers his role in her abandonment, she should run. Instead, she stays, plots, and uses him exactly as he's using her, because the only thing more dangerous than trusting him is remaining powerless. Some hungers are too sharp to deny. Some betrayals are too fundamental to forgive. And some transformations are too seductive to refuse, even when you know exactly what they'll cost. The realms made her disposable. She's about to become necessary.
