First Chosen by the Dragon synopsis
Evelynn was supposed to be heir. The dragon egg she found in the mountain caves was supposed to be hers. Her fiancé was supposed to stand beside her. Instead, she watches her family give everything—her title, her dragon, her future—to her younger sister. When she discovers the betrayal runs deeper than public humiliation, and that her own blood wants her dead before sunrise, Evelynn has no choice but to run. With nothing but the clothes on her back and a secret she'll protect with her life, she flees into the night—toward lands ruled by her family's greatest enemy.

[Evelyn’s POV]
I make myself small on the edge of the sofa while Cassandra holds court in the center of the room. She's telling our parents about training again, voice bright with excitement, a dagger dancing between her hands as she acts out her victory.
Our parents watch her like she's the sun and they've been living in darkness.
"—and I dodged at the last second, right under his arm!"
Mother clasps her hands together, beaming. Father rises to stroke Cassandra's hair, pride radiating from him. Her fiery red locks catch the light as she preens under his attention.
"You are so talented, Cassandra," Mother says. "You’re everything the future ruler of House of Blue Dragon should be."
"Cassandra has such natural speed and skill," Father agrees. His gaze flicks to me—long enough for the warmth to drain from his face—then back to my sister. "She was born to be a leader."
I've heard variations of this my whole life.
Cassandra is gifted. Cassandra is special. Cassandra is everything I'm not.
She's always been the golden child—beautiful, fierce, impossible to ignore. Her copper-red hair demands attention wherever she goes. Her sharp eyes command respect without effort.
I'm the shadow she casts. Pale where she's vibrant. Silent where she's bold. Forgettable.
"Those are just basic drills," I mutter before I can stop myself. "Anyone could do that. Especially with so much training."
Silence crashes over the room. Father turns slowly, expression darkening.
"No, Evelyn. It takes talent. Real talent. Maybe you should try harder. Learn from your sister."
Cassandra drifts toward me, her smile sweet as poison. "Maybe if you weren’t always lost in your daydreams, you'd actually accomplish something."
