In a Dragon's Age
ByPublisher Description
In the gritty streets of a desperate city, Xiami, a former pickpocket and unemployed factory worker, finds herself entangled in a world of danger and intrigue. When she stumbles upon a hidden treasure amidst the loot of a notorious gang, her moral compass is put to the test.
Driven by a desire to protect the stolen object, Xiami delves deeper into the extensive caverns where secrets lie. Little does she know that her audacious act has caught the attention of a blind, ancient dragon and his enigmatic human caretaker, Bruen. Their paths intertwine in a precarious dance of trust and suspicion, and as danger looms, a subtle spark of attraction kindles between them.
As Xiami races against time to evade the pursuing gang, she must not only convince Bruen of her intentions but also shield the dragon from the clutches of those who would exploit its power. But each step brings them closer to the revelation of their own hidden truths and the consequences that await them.
With the future of society and the ancient dragon at stake, Xiami and Bruen must confront their own pasts and juggle choices that could ignite a devastating war or lead to a destiny of heartbreak and retribution.
In this gripping tale of sacrifice and redemption, Xiami and Bruen embark on a perilous journey that will test their resolve and the demands of one unbreakable law. Can they rise above their shadows and protect what they hold dear? Or will their fates be sealed by the unforgiving forces that surround them?
