The Last Dragon King

In The Last Dragon King by Drae Valdren, the hunt for a royal bride turns into a tense, magical fantasy romance set in the glittering Jade City and the wary villages beyond. When the Dragon King announces he’ll take a wife—one powerful enough to bear an heir—young women are rounded up, tested by “magic sniffers” and marched toward the castle.

The narrator expects to be overlooked: she’s mostly human, with only a trace of dragon blood. Yet she’s summoned anyway, dragged into a court where bloodlines, power and survival are tightly knotted. Just as she steels herself for the journey, her mother reveals a secret that changes everything—and could make her a target in the king’s realm.

Perfect for readers who enjoy romantasy, dragon shifters, magic bloodlines and royal court intrigue, plus anyone who loves a series you can sink into. Step into Avalier and see who survives the selection.
