They take him by royal decree—and his heat is a weapon the Dragon King intends to wield. Accept the collar, or watch the Ashen Realms burn.

Dragged to the Ember Citadel, Caelan—the last royal-blooded Omega—meets Draven, a flame-crowned dragon shifter whose gaze feels like a claim. Their fated bond ignites on sight, but Caelan refuses to kneel. In halls of obsidian and bone, a golden collar glitters like a threat, courtiers deal in ash and poison, and prophecy insists the Omega's body can save—or shatter—the realm.
When Caelan's first full heat rips through every shield, the king offers anchoring instead of chains—and desire becomes a battleground. Enemies circle, dragons wake, and the King's lethal commanders are drawn into a bond-net that promises power as well as pleasure. To survive, Caelan must choose the terms of his own claim: accept the collar and stand beside a monster made of fire, or let the court forge him into a weapon against the man he might love.
Dark, decadent, and addictive, The Dragon King serves high heat, Omegaverse bonds, ruthless court intrigue, dragon shifters, and a possessive, reverse-harem trajectory—with fierce consent and a cliff-edge of danger leading into Book Two.
