# The Prisoner Returns as the Dragon King

> Chained and mocked as a traitor's son, Kaelric is thrown to the front lines with his dragon core sealed. He's the true Black Dragon King—and the uncle who exiled him murdered his parents. He reclaims the throne, crushes his enemies, and wakes the queen who'd been lost to him.
