The Ashborn Bride and the Silver CrownEpisode 12

"Starfire Bride: I Married the Dragon They Left to Die" On the night of her Bonding Rite, Aelara is publicly humiliated by her betrothed, Cassian—who arrives with his pregnant mistress and orders her to raise their child. Stripped of dignity and abandoned by the clan that only wanted her blood, she makes a desperate choice: she offers herself to any dragon willing to claim her. The only one who steps forward is Rhaelan—Cassian's half-brother, the true heir whose heart-scale was shattered as a child, leaving him flightless, fireless, and forgotten for thirteen years. Their bond should have killed him. Instead, Aelara's starfire blood begins to heal the break that no one else could mend. As winter deepens and Cassian's grip on power falters, Aelara must decide: is she saving Rhaelan—or is he saving her? And when the broken dragon finally rises, the entire clan will kneel—not to prophecy, but to a love that chose the last dragon anyone expected.
