Synopsis
They all expect her to fall. Only one man believes she can fly! Lowborn Bren never imagined she'd meet a dragonfury face-to-face. But when Ruin, her first love and a newly raised Furyknight, is sent on his first mission, Bren leaves the safety of her family's farm and stumbles through the night to surprise and farewell him. Instead, she discovers her lover's betrayal. Shamed, broken, and reeling, Bren climbs the Dragonmaw cliffs to end her life, only to be saved and bonded by a dragon. Now, as the first ever female Flameborne, Bren must earn her place among the Furyknights, a hallowed, all-male society of dragon riders. Her mere existence is the breach of centuries-old tradition. Yet, when the dragons embrace her, the men have no choice but to watch and wait for her to go up in flames. Her only willing ally is the fabled Battle Commander, Donavyn Arsen. Donavyn knows dragons don't make mistakes. He agrees to train Bren in secret to prepare her for the Trials. But with so many hours alone, the pair's mutual respect deepens into something more. Something forbidden.--
