Blood&Daughters
Six years ago, beneath a flowering tree, Sera spent a single night with a man whose face she never saw—and conceived twin girls. Ten months later, her own sisters cut one infant from her womb, threw her off a cliff, and told her the child was dead and the man would never come. Sera survived the fall, awakened the golden phoenix bloodline within her, and alone gave birth to and raised her other daughter, Luna. The man, and all her tenderness, she buried deep in her heart. What she never knew: the daughter torn from her, Nova, was still alive—raised as his own by the very man from that night, Cael, the Dragon Lord of Drakenfall. Cael had been deceived too, told the mother of his child had died in childbirth. For six years he searched for her, and touched no other woman. Six years later, Sera returns with her daughter to take revenge on the family that destroyed her life. Cael conceals his identity as the Dragon Lord and stays at her side as a humble lamplighter—guarding her in silence, never daring to speak a word. And the two daughters, sharing one face and hidden behind masks, recognize each other—and their parents—and one careful step at a time, nudge these estranged lovers back toward one another. When the blade of vengeance finally turns toward Drakenfall, the stolen child appears before them all, and her golden eyes lay bare every lie: the man Sera hated for six years, the man she believed dead, had been standing within arm's reach the whole time. Love and hatred detonate together amid blood and fire—until a family of four stands shoulder to shoulder at last, to reclaim the six years that were stolen from them.
