Dragonkin: The Four Flames

In ancient Aetheran, dragonkin royalty rules seven kingdoms, but a thousand-year-old curse causes pure-bloods to die before the age of one hundred, with heirs becoming rarer each generation. Princess Helena Almeida, from a declining noble family, sells her bloodline in a sacred ritual to save her dying mother. There, Crown Prince Dário Bragança finds her. Mistaking her for a gold digger, he completes the ancient Dragon Flame Union with her out of desperation. Months later, Helena discovers that she is pregnant with quadruplets—four dragon flames burning inside her. This miracle could save Dário's bloodline and break the curse, if his power-hungry nephew does not destroy them first.
