Definitely Not the Dragon God: Not All Gods Are Dead

Wren Ashcombe has spent his life as an academy's lowest servant, cursed with blood that makes every dragon fear him. But when a drop of that blood hatches a legendary dragon egg, his life is turned upside down. Hunted by powerful enemies and burdened with a destiny he never asked for, Wren must uncover the truth before the world does.

Enter Commander Kael Draventhorne—the academy's most decorated dragon rider, whose reputation for ruthless efficiency is matched only by his devastating good looks. When Kael is assigned to investigate the impossible hatching, the last thing he expects is to find himself drawn to the timid servant responsible for it.

But Wren is hiding more than just his forbidden bond with the dragon. His blood carries secrets that could reshape the kingdom's power structure—or destroy it entirely. And as Kael digs deeper, he discovers that protecting Wren means challenging everything he's sworn to uphold.

Hunted by enemies who want Wren's power, caught between duty and a connection neither can deny, Wren and Kael must decide: embrace a destiny that could save or doom them both, or walk away before the truth consumes everything they hold dear.
