The Dragons' Buried Crown #989810

“I have spent fifteen years finishing what my parents started. I have never once asked myself what I actually want.”

The ruins have been mine alone since the collapse that killed them — my whole life measured in what I can prove, what I can dig up, what I can finish so their deaths weren't for nothing. Then raiders hit my excavation site, and four dragon shifters arrive to drive them off and go utterly, impossibly still at the sight of me.

I don't have room in my life for a bond I never asked for. I have a dig to finish.

Except the deeper I go, the less this feels like an accident — someone has always known exactly what I'd find before I found it, and the man who taught me everything I know about this work is the only person who could have known that much. Four alphas who see all of me, not just what I can complete. A horde willing to protect me instead of use me. And a truth buried under the mountain that could finally answer the question this entire series has been circling since the first stolen letter: who is actually hunting this bloodline, and how far does it really go.

I don't know how to want a life that isn't a debt to the dead. I don't know how to let four strangers convince me I'm allowed to stop finishing other people's stories. And somewhere in these ruins, the man who raised me is waiting to prove that everything I've ever built my worth on was never really mine to give.

The Dragons' Buried Crown is a steamy reverse-harem paranormal romance and the capstone Book 3 of The Dragons of North Oak — a fated-mates, why-choose finale about the woman who finally stops finishing everyone else's legacy, and the four dragon shifters who show her a life worth starting for herself.
