Dragon King's Human Mate. The Dragon Throne Chronicles, #1

She came searching for the perfect photograph. Instead, she found a world that was never meant to be seen. Wildlife photographer Emma Carter follows an injured animal through an unexplained shimmer deep within an ancient forest-and steps into a hidden civilization where dragons walk as kings, kingdoms guard impossible secrets, and history itself has been rewritten. Bound by an ancient magical bond to King Kael of the Crimson Crown, Emma becomes the center of a crisis that threatens five rival dragon kingdoms.
As forgotten archives emerge and long-buried evidence challenges everything the kingdoms believe about their past, political alliances fracture, old rivalries ignite, and the fate of two worlds begins to rest on a single question:Can truth survive when no one is allowed to own it?Together with scholars, warriors, rulers, and investigators from every kingdom, Emma and Kael uncover a mystery that cannot be solved by power alone.
Every discovery must be tested. Every assumption questioned. Every answer earned. But while the kingdoms struggle to build a future based on trust instead of fear, Emma faces an even more personal decision. When your heart belongs to two worlds... How do you choose only one?Perfect for readers who love slow-burn fantasy romance, dragon shifters, intelligent world-building, political intrigue, mystery, and emotionally earned relationships, Dragon King's Human Mate begins an unforgettable fantasy romance series where love is chosen, truth is tested, and legends are only the beginning.
