# Awakening the Dragon Within

> Betrayed by his ex-wife, stripped of everything he owned, and left with a daughter dying of leukemia—Liam Blackwood has hit rock bottom. But just when all hope seems lost, an ancient drake pendant awakens the power within him. Rising from the ashes as the Drake Heir, he heals the incurable with a single touch, and shatters bones with a single step. Now, armed with divine medical skill, unmatched martial prowess, and a burning thirst for vengeance, Liam returns to Everett City—not to beg, but to bury.
