Forbidden Fate

Astraea was only three years old when her ruthless mother tore her from her father's arms. The mating bond between them had been rejected-violently, deliberately-and in her fury, Astraea's mother unleashed a devastating curse. Every dragon-born over the age of eighteen, those strong enough to shift, was condemned to remain trapped in their dragon form. A punishment. A warning. Revenge.

Astraea was taken far from her past and delivered to a fae academy, where she was raised to train and master her abilities. Among the fae, each individual draws power from a single, defined source.

But Astraea is... different.

Her power is something no one has ever seen before-unclassified, unpredictable, and quietly feared.

All her life, she has carried a single, unshakable truth: she is destined to kill her mother. She's never understood why-only that the fate is hers to fulfill.

Dragons can speak. They can bond.
