Synopsis
A dragon rider. A biplane pilot. Two enemy nations, one epic love story. I was born a princess, but in the skies of Maethalia, blood means nothing. Power is everything. And with only one arm, I’ve spent my entire life being underestimated by the elite dragon riders sworn to protect the crown. Then my sister was murdered by enemy pilots. Now I’m expected to take her place in the deadly trials to become the next leader of the Skrathan. Survive the dragons. Outfly my rivals. Prove I’m worthy of the crown before the kingdom tears itself apart. The problem? No one believes I can win. Then a mysterious stranger washes ashore. Charlie is arrogant, infuriating, and far too handsome for his own good. He claims he’s just a reporter, but I know he’s lying. Still, he’s the only person who looks at me and sees strength instead of weakness. The only one willing to teach me how to fight smarter, fly harder, and survive what’s coming. I shouldn’t trust him. I definitely shouldn’t want him. But the closer we become, the more dangerous our connection feels. Because Charlie isn’t a reporter at all. He’s the Silver Wraith—the most feared pilot in our enemy nation’s history. And if anyone discovers who he really is, he’ll be executed as a spy. Now I’m trapped between the kingdom I’m sworn to protect and the enemy who’s stolen my heart. As war brews across the sea and deadly conspiracies spread through the palace, I’ll have to decide what I’m willing to sacrifice to claim the crown. Because in a world of dragons, falling for the enemy could cost me everything. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Bloodwing Academy, Dragons and Aces is an enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring dragon riders, forbidden romance, deadly trials, court intrigue, a morally gray hero, found family, and sizzling spice.
