The Oracle of Blackwater

On her eighteenth birthday, Princess Lyra of Aramoor discovers that the kingdom's ancient legends about dragons are not myths when a mysterious earthquake leads her and her friend Tomas into hidden ruins beneath the northern mountains. There, Lyra finds an ancient chamber and awakens Vaeron, a massive dragon who claims not to be the last of his kind but the first, imprisoned for three hundred years by those who feared his power. Vaeron reveals that Lyra carries the mysterious mark of the First Blood and is not entirely human, suggesting that her royal family has hidden the truth about her origins since birth. When Vaeron warns that the people who imprisoned him have discovered that he is awake, Lyra realizes that her father may have deceived her and that the kingdom's history is built on dangerous secrets. As soldiers approach the ruins and Vaeron prepares to escape, Lyra is forced to confront her hidden heritage, her connection to the ancient dragon, and the mysterious enemies who have been waiting centuries for the First Blood to awaken. Now she must uncover the truth about her lineage and determine whether Vaeron's return will save Aramoor or unleash a forgotten power capable of changing the kingdom forever.
