The Crippled Dragon's Scarred Bride

Elara was left scarred, crippled in the hands, and robbed of her honor by the three brothers her dying mother trusted to protect her, so their father’s bastard could be raised as the future Queen. With no other way forward, she gave up her name and married the realm’s ruined cripple, the Dragon King’s Hand. Yet the man in the wheelchair was hiding a secret: he was no cripple at all. While her brothers searched the kingdom in chaos, Elara remained in the shadows, watching each of those who betrayed her fall in turn. Once broken, some ties can never be restored.
