A human magically reborn into a dragon's body navigates friendships, alliances, and feuding gangs in the second book of this charming isekai series.

In the months since Draka woke up as a dragon in another world, much has changed. She's formed friendships, built alliances, navigated the magic and politics of her new home, and discovered how to wield some of her more useful draconic abilities. But even as her powers evolve, she finds herself contending with ever more perilous trials.

For one, the dragon's mind inside her own is growing stronger, becoming a near-constant force, with its own memories and desires. For another, Draka's friendship with Herald has landed her directly in the crosshairs of some dangerous factions. And after a betrayal by someone she thought she could trust, she's battling not only the dragon's desire to kill but also her own craving for vengeance.

Now, Draka must learn to control her baser urges and truly embrace her dual nature—before she ends up destroying the remaining links to her humanity and the only people she cares about in this new life....

The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Excellent story, great narration, and beautiful world building. I love how Draka actually thinks like a dragon when instincts kick in. Very animalistic and proud!

Beautiful story!

While I do know and understand this book has darker themes, I felt like it could have eased in and not bashed us over the head with it.

A bit grim in the beginning

I usually don't have a difficult time reading grim material but the narration seems to remove a mental wall of separation that made me struggle getting through it. Once I got past it, I had a great time listening to a well narrated story that expanded the world a bit and had me intrigued for the 3rd.

*SPOILER*



While the dragon personality is being fleshed out and coming to the fore, the human personality being overridden so completely kind of robs my emotional investment in the person she was in the first book. I get that its supposed to be still 'her' but even the statement feels like a technicality. It could be that the change was done too quickly for me to process, at the end I've been treating her as a separate character rather than an evolution. I'm not even sure it can be considered an isekai but regardless its still an entertaining story with excellent performance.

A tough start but still good
