The princess regrets it the day the divine seal shatters. She personally sacrifices her contract with the empire’s strongest dragon to the temple, hoping only to win the gods’ mercy. Dragon blood splashes across the altar, its wings are nailed to a cross, and she kneels in the pool of blood, smiling as she says, “It was worth it.”
The dragon dies, and the contract is destroyed! At that moment, Chu Bo smiles. Forbidden dragon runes, feared even by the gods, appear in his palm: the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor, buried since the ancient era, is awakening. Everyone thinks he’s a useless live-in son-in-law, unaware that the gods sought to exterminate dragons because the power of dragon runes is strong enough to slay them.
Now he’ll show the entire temple what regret means. Kill one of my dragons, and I’ll ride an even mightier ancient world-ending dragon. Destroy one of my contracts, and I’ll use my blood to awaken dragon souls that have slept for millennia. When Chu Bo rides the sky-swallowing, sun-blocking Primordial Dragon Emperor to smash through the gates of the divine kingdom, the temple’s priests will kneel and beg him to renew the contract. He’ll give them just one answer: “Did your gods ask the dragon beneath me?”
Chu Bo’s revenge begins. He will wipe out every god, let dragon wings once again blot out the sky, and uncover the thousand-year-old lies about his origins hidden in the deepest reaches of the temple.
