Generations ago, a farming village unknowingly settled beside a dragon’s cave. After years of fear and vanishing villagers, a young orphan forged a fragile peace with the beast—an oath sealed in offerings, stone, and blood. Over time, the tradition faded into legend, and a new king sought to wipe out all dragons… unaware that one still lived, hidden and waiting. Now, centuries later, Katia—a girl who has spent her life defending herself and the family she holds dear—feels out of place in the ordinary future her mother wants for her. Only her grandmother, Gyda, and her sister, Nina, understand the pull she feels toward their ancestral past. When Katia stumbles upon the ancient cave, she unknowingly reawakens the long-dormant blood oath, binding herself to a destiny far older and more powerful than she ever imagined. Thrust into a world of mystical creatures, dangerous truths, and the remnants of a broken pact, Katia must unravel the secrets of her lineage, face the surviving dragon, and uncover the sins humanity tried to erase.
