Lillian Frost summoned a lizard. Everyone laughed. Nobody's laughing now. That "lizard" is the reincarnated Black Dragon King — dethroned, hunted, and hiding in the body of a small boy. Broke and desperate, Lillian strikes a deal with him: she helps him reclaim his power, he helps her survive. What starts as a shameful summoning becomes a rampage that topples dungeon records, silences rivals, and drags both of them into a war between dragons that was never supposed to be her fight.
