Dragon's treasure

Karadur Atani rules Chingura as its dragon lord. He has outlived a deranged father and a brother who betrayed him, and he now holds Dragon Keep, where his subjects and the other nobles accept his authority. Still, the old tales about his dragon ancestry refuse to fade, and his rage is terrifying once it is roused. The kingdom is not at war, but court maneuvering and the schemes of rival fiefs gnaw at the calm he has built. What softens his temper is his devotion to his retainers and to one human woman.

Maia Unamira is a penniless herbalist born into a family of outlaws. She is not frightened of the golden dragon Karadur is becoming, nor of the man who is almost wholly human and who sets her pulse racing. Through her, Karadur learns compassion alongside his power, and the choices they make could change the fate of both humans and dragons.
