Dragons and magic combine in this sapphic retelling of Cinderella.Deyanara is one of the last surviving dragons of House Iron, her lineage hanging by a thread after a tragic accident claimed her family. With her House on the brink of ruin, she's determined to work day and night to ensure its survival. When she's mistaken for a contender in the brutal Ascension Rites—a legendary tournament where dragons fight monsters for the chance at winning divine favour—Deyanara expects humiliation. Instead, she finds a talent for battle and friendships she never expected—including one sharp-tongued rival. But after a shocking turn sends the Rites spiralling into something far more deadly, Deyanara must decide what she's truly fighting for.
