Destrui is dying, the world crumbling beneath their feet.
Scarlett has only ever wanted the commoners outside her court to be healthy and fed, but a group of females that have dubbed themselves The Daughters of the Queen have radical ideas for equality.
Females are meant to be bedded and bred, never seen or heard among the Dragon Clans of Destrui. That is until Scarlett’s ascension to the throne is announced. With gifts from the gods, she’s believed to be the savior of their world, at least according to The Master of Realms. Her family believes no female should ever lead and insists her fated mate should be crowned king in her stead, but Maxim stands behind his Queen, in awe of her power and desires.
Scarlett just has to stay alive long enough to break tradition.
Advance Praise
"This story had me hooked from start to finish. I’m fairly new to the fantasy genre, so I was a bit skeptical going in, but DUDE. Every character is unique and totally pivotal to the plot. They’re completely beautiful and have human like qualities that you wouldn’t expect a fantasy character to have. The issues are still relevant to today’s current issues here on earth, all while twisting a gorgeous tale with a badass female lead. And that ending. CHRIST"

I adored this SO much!!!!
A short yet powerful fantasy story with empowered female characters? Sign me up!!!!
The world building which was what I was mostly worried about the story getting right ( I mean.....it IS difficult to create a rich detailed world within 177 pages) was thankfully wonderfully written. The perfect mix of details without info dumbing paragraphs about the world, but rather allowing details to surface through the story naturally.
Also the magic system??? We literally get to see DRAGON SHIFTERS.
The characters which was EXACTLY why I requested this book were CHEFS KISS. Utterly realistic, flawed making me feel strongly for them.
CANNOT wait for the sequel and strongly encouraging everyone to pick this up! An absolute reccomedation.

Realms dying, females subjugated, betrayal everywhere! Dragons meet 'Handmaid's Tale' will evil win? Will the first ever queen in the male dominated world endure to save the realms? (yea, there's a big cliff)

Oh wow great read, but it is a cliff hanger. When the king decides to appoint his daughter Scarlett as his successor, it doesn’t go over well in primary males dragon population!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own
