Blood & Daughter

Six years ago, beneath a blossoming tree, Sera spent a single night with a man whose face she never saw—and conceived twin daughters. Ten months later, her own sister cut open her womb, took one of her babies, pushed her off a cliff, and told her the child was dead and that the man would never come. Sera survived the fall, awakening the bloodline of the golden phoenix within her, and alone she gave birth to and raised her other daughter, Luna. The man, and all his tenderness, she buried deep in her heart. What she never knew: the daughter torn from her, Nova, is still alive—raised as his own by the man from that night, Cael, Sovereign of the Drakenfall Dragons. Cael was deceived too; he was told the mother of his child died in childbirth. For six years he searched for Sera, and never touched another woman. Six years later, Sera returns with her daughter to take revenge on the family that destroyed her life. Cael hides his identity as the Dragon Sovereign and stands at her side as an ordinary lamplighter—watching over her in silence, never daring to speak a single word. His two daughters, with the same face behind their masks, recognize each other—and their parents—and slowly bring this separated couple back together. When the sword of vengeance finally points toward Drakenfall, the stolen child appears before everyone, and her golden eyes expose every lie: the man Sera has hated for six years, whom she believed dead, has been beside her all along. Love and hate explode together amid blood and fire—until this family finally stands side by side, to reclaim the six years that were taken from them.
