The Last Wish of the Ancient Dragon

Yara was the last guardian treasure dragon in the world, born with three ancient dragon heart scales. Each scale could awaken an ancient covenant once, invoked by the true name of an ancient dragon, yet it demanded the most precious price. To save her dying husband, Carlos, she sacrificed her unborn dragonborn offspring still in the womb; to restore the House of Barros Knights, she offered up her dragon heartstone, her dragonfire, and her full draconic form. But when Carlos regained his fiefdom, his honor, and his power, he betrayed her, forcing her to tear out her final heart scale to save his former lover and the so-called "heir." After being humiliated, tormented, and drained of every last drop of ancient dragon blood, Yara at last used her third heart scale to make one final wish: that all who had betrayed her would lose their surnames, their lands, their heirs, and all the glory bestowed by dragonfire. Once the ancient dragon's covenant of vengeance descended, lies were exposed, and the wicked suffered one by one from the backlash. And Carlos finally understood that the woman he had driven to her death with his own hands was the one love he could never reclaim in this life.
