Noa Park, an overworked employee, finds herself reincarnated as Eleanora Asil, a villainess with a lengthy criminal record in a fantasy novel. Determined to change her destiny and avoid the original 'death by dragon' ending, she abandons her wicked ways to live a quiet life in anonymity. However, fate has other plans when she accidentally stumbles upon a stolen dragon egg. Instead of imprinting on the novel's heroine, the hatchling—a powerful black dragon named Mu—mistakes Noa for its mother, forcing her into the role of an inexperienced caretaker for a creature capable of destroying the world.
Matters get complicated when Kyle Leonard, the obsessive and brilliant Captain of the Imperial Investigation Squad, tracks her down as the prime suspect in the egg's theft. Instead of arresting her immediately, he finds himself swept up in Noa's chaotic life, reluctantly helping her raise the dragon while they unravel a deeper conspiracy. I Raised a Black Dragon is a delightful blend of mystery, romance, and comedy, featuring a refreshing 'found family' dynamic. Readers will love the chemistry between the pragmatic Noa and the uptight Kyle as they navigate parenthood and politics in a magical steampunk world.
