Chosen by the Dragon Crown: A Dark Dragon Kingdom Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199803052)

One final bell will decide whether dragons are born free or bound forever.

Bria Caldris has spent her life hiding behind ink, seals, and protocol.

As a senior archivist inside the Blood Registry, she knows how to survive the Order's scrutiny. Keep her head down. Certify the records. Never ask why so many names disappear from the page.

Then the Capital Prime Bell begins its final retuning.

The Order is preparing to hollow every registered rider and dragon in the kingdom, turning sacred bonds into permanent obedience. Bria is ordered to certify the Purification Decree that will make it legal. But buried inside the Registry is a living signature that should not exist: the erased record of her father, and the first clue to a covenant the Order stole from history.

Lieutenant Garrick Voss is the Iron Guard's perfect weapon.

Tuned, controlled, and carved into obedience, he is assigned to guard Bria through the audit and execute her if she uncovers forbidden truth. His mind belongs to the Bell. His blade belongs to the Order. But the dragon carrying his stolen pain is beginning to break, and Bria's presence is the first dissonance his hollowed soul cannot silence.

Forced together inside the Crown Eyrie, Bria and Voss must navigate a city of predatory surveillance, lethal records, and ancient magic waking beneath the throne. Every secret they uncover pulls them closer to treason. Every touch threatens the silver threads binding him. Every choice brings the final toll nearer.

To save the dragons, Bria must stop preserving the law and start writing its end.

To save himself, Voss must choose the agony of a reclaimed heart over the peace of a hollow mind.

The Bell is tolling.

The Registry is a lie.

And in a kingdom where silence is loyalty, their love may be the first note of revolution.

Chosen by the Dragon Crown is Book Three in the Forbidden Riders series, a dark dragon rider romantasy featuring forbidden romance, forced proximity, a protective guard, ancient covenant magic, dragon bonds, political danger, and a rebellion that will decide the fate of every rider in the kingdom.
