The Dragon’s Promise

Demons, dragons, and a dangerous pearl

Before Princess Shiori can rest after freeing her brothers from their curse, she must honor the promise she made to her late stepmother on her deathbed. But delivering the magical pearl to its rightful owner is no simple task. Many covet the pearl’s power, and Shiori’s own abilities as her country’s bloodsake places her at greater risk. Facing dragons, demons, ghosts, and fanatic priestesses, Shiori will need all her brothers’ and her betrothed’s help to save herself and to fulfill her stepmother’s last wish.
