The White Dragon Revealed
by X. Aratare
Synopsis
As the other Dragon Kings and Queens arrive in Reach, Caden realizes that keeping his identity a secret from the clever and powerful royals will be impossible. But who does he reveal himself to first? It will not be Illarion… But Caden isn’t the only one who reveals themselves. An enemy drops their disguise… This is a long serial that is divided into book-length segments. Every single one ends in a cliffhanger. We anticipate there being 9 volumes. This series will not be in KU, because it is on the Raythe Reign serial website. There is also a free audio version on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts!
