Kaida bakes bread by morning and dances by firelight at night—bold, beautiful, and restless in a village that celebrates pleasure as freely as wine. But beneath her skin, something ancient stirs. When a stolen necklace unleashes heat she can't control, Kaida's body begins to change—and so does her hunger. When tax soldiers come to crush her home, Kaida doesn't run. She erupts. Flames, rage, and scales reveal what she truly is: Drakarash, born of dragons long thought dead. Forced to flee with a mysterious warrior who teaches her to harness lust and fury as power, Kaida begins to transform—into something far more dangerous than legend. She learns to kill. To seduce. To lead. Now hunted by kings and courted by rebels, Kaida must decide: Will she become a symbol for their cause—or burn it all down and rise on her own terms? Fierce, erotic, and unflinching, Kaida – Awakening is the first chapter in a bold new saga of power, transformation, and fire that refuses to be tamed.
