Dragons hide their existence from the world. But when one dies, its soul is never truly lost — it's reborn. Shii never asked for the one that found her.
Dragons are real — but scarce, hidden, and content to stay that way. When an ancient dragon's life ends, its soul isn't lost. It's reborn into a living creature, waiting to be found and trained into what it once was.
Shii picked up the nickname "Dragon Princess" as a joke aimed at her own expense — someone teasing her for the smoke and fire that seem to follow her around — and liked it enough to keep it. She has no idea how much more true it might be than she thinks. The same night her home burned down, something old and nameless settled into her chest and never left, and her eyes have never matched since.
She's not the only one who's noticed. Bahamut, King of Dragons, believes his kind should stay hidden, feared, and rarely seen — and he has his own reasons for taking an interest in a girl who calls herself a dragon princess as a joke. Shii has to figure out who she really is beneath a title she gave herself for fun, before he — or the dragon he answers to even less comfortably than himself — decides what to do about it.
