Five elite dragon Alphas. One slum-born human Omega. And a secret mission that could bring the entire Shifter Alliance Federation to its knees.

In the Federation, your district determines your worth.

I’m Sable Ashborn, born and raised in District 10—the slums of the ten districts, burdened with backward infrastructure, restricted travel, and zero future.

So when the Federation's mandatory genetic mate-matching program reveals I'm a ninety-percent-plus match with all five members of the Montgomery unit, the world stops. Everyone wants to know how a slum-born nobody could be the ideal central bond to the only all-dragon battle unit in the Federation.

Biologically, I'm exactly what their unraveling inner beasts need.

Politically and socially? I'm everything the elite in District 1 despise.

Because “fated” mate-match results above seventy percent are automatically broadcast nationwide, the Federation has no choice but to put on a show. They "grant" me a temporary resident permit, a provisional seat at the elite First Dragon Academy, and medical care for my sick little brother back home.

They're stalling for time, waiting for me to fail publicly. They expect me to break.

They don't know they've just handed me the opportunity of a lifetime.

As a member of the rebel Ashenveil circle, destroying the Seal the Federation uses to exploit my district has always been the ultimate goal. But I never had access to the Aegis Citadel where it’s guarded...until now.

All I have to do is pretend to be a grateful little Omega while I climb the Academy's brutal hierarchy to the top fifteen, earn access to the Alliance Gala at Aegis, and destroy the Seal once and for all.

Simple. Except no one must know about this mission or I'll be executed on counts of terrorism.

I can't fail. I can't show weakness. And I cannot fall for the five Alphas circling me like I'm their prey:

Maddox, the fire dragon with a temper hotter than his flame.

James, the genius game designer who seems to see straight through every lie I tell.

Eli, the shadow dragon linked to District 1's fallen royal lineage, hiding secrets of his own behind charming smiles that never reach his eyes.

Noah, the ruthless Student Council President who's always catching me in compromising situations with his unit mates and sees me as nothing but a scheming opportunist.

And Zael, the mysterious ice dragon who keeps everyone at a distance, especially me.

They think I'm a simple little Omega here to throw myself at their feet just to escape my district.

They don't know I'm the enemy inside their walls, ready to tear down the entire system that holds their district superior to mine, even if it costs me my life.

Because no matter what, my brother will live to see a world where District 10 is no longer a cage.

Welcome to First Dragon Academy, where five ruthless Prime Alphas rule, one slum-born Omega defies them, and an unwanted mate match could ignite a revolution.
