They stole her crown.
They shattered her kingdom.
Now she’ll awaken the magic they never saw coming.

When Princess Isladora’s world is shattered by betrayal, she’s forced to flee the only home she’s ever known. Hunted, injured, and presumed dead, Isladora must rise from the ashes to reclaim her kingdom—and her true identity.

But her survival depends on more than courage. It hinges on unlocking a power long buried in her bloodline, and trusting a magical ring inhabited by the ancient spirit, Meluha Crocus.

As Isladora trains in secret, preparing for the fight of her life, she forges unlikely alliances: Tobin, a kind-hearted commoner with surprising strength; Ariah, a half-dragon warrior escaping enslavement; and Json, a fierce wyvern with a mysterious bond to her fate.

Together, they confront the dark forces tearing their world apart: from a tyrannical empress to an advanced race of beings called the Protectors, whose greed for magic threatens the survival of an entire underground civilization.

Will Isladora find the strength to save her kingdom—or will it fall to darkness? The answer lies in the journey, and the adventure begins now!

Brimming with epic battles, slow-burn romance, and heart-pounding twists, The King, The Wyvern, and I is an immersive coming-of-age fantasy that explores the strength found in chosen family, the courage born from loss, and the fire that ignites when destiny calls. Perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Christopher Paolini and Michael R. Miller.
