Her Weak Magic Was a Lie : The Shackled Witch Who Broke the Dragon Kin
"They told you that you were weak. They lied."
Elara Morwen has spent twenty-four years thinking she's defective—a failure in a world where magical strength decides your worth. Her poor spark of power barely lights a candle while her bigger sister Celestine dazzles the Mage Council with storms and lightning. When Celestine steals Elara's fiancé on their wedding day, openly humiliating her and saying Elara's "embarrassing weakness" would taint their family's history, Elara's world shatters completely.
Disowned, penniless, and broken, Elara takes what she thinks is a charitable study post from the Council—only to find she's been sold as a human sacrifice. They chain her in the Scorched Wastes atop the Dragonspire, an ancient jail holding Azrathion, the last Dragon King. Legend says he wrecked half the world before being shut away. The truth? He was imprisoned for refusing to let witches take dragon souls to fuel their power.
When Elara's blood hits the evil chains, everything changes. The seal doesn't just break—it recognizes her. Her "weak" magic bursts into an inferno of silver dragonfire, showing the terrible truth: Elara's power was never weak. It was sealed at birth because she carries the Dragonheart—a mythical magic capable of freeing every dragon the Mage Council has secretly kept imprisoned for three hundred years.
Azrathion emerges: deadly, beautiful, and totally angry. He's also bound to her through an old soul-bond that ties his life to hers. He needs her living to keep his freedom, but she needs him to master the dangerous power now consuming her from within.
As forced closeness becomes electric attraction, Azrathion shows the impossible: Elara isn't just powerful—she's the spirit of Lysandra, the Dragon Queen he loved and lost three centuries ago. The woman whose death sparked the Dragon War. The woman whose last words were a promise to return.
But Elara isn't Lysandra. She's her own person, and she's done being controlled by anyone—even a devastatingly arrogant dragon king saying she's his chosen mate.
When the Mage Council discovers Elara survived and woke both her power and the Dragon King, they start a brutal campaign to retake them both. Celestine, consumed by jealous rage that her "worthless" sister has become the most powerful being living, makes a twisted deal with the Council's darkest witches.
Now Elara must decide: accept the power that scares her, trust the dragon king who claims their love transcends death itself, and burn down the system that kept her in chains—or lose everything, including the second chance at a love that was stolen three lifetimes ago.
They called her weak. They should have killed her when they had the chance.
