Synopsis
Vengeance has wings—and I’ve just learned to fly. My power is a secret—a forbidden gift the kings of Embernia have hunted for generations. When they tried to rip it from me, I escaped. But they destroyed my family. Now, all I want is revenge. And I’ll get it by becoming what they never expected: a dragon rider. To rise through the ranks, I’ll need the favor of Vaylen Stormsong—High Prime of the Sky Order, my commander, and maddeningly untouchable. He’s bound by duty. I’ll make him break every rule for me. But our world is crumbling. The dragons are fading. Monsters gather at the borders. And the king’s paranoia turns its eye on us. Worse still, I’m falling for the one man who’d damn me if he knew the truth. Because I’m not the warrior they think I am— I’m the weapon they fear. ---- Featuring a morally gray heroine set on revenge and a no-nonsense dragon rider who is her teacher and considered forbidden. Enter the unique world of Embernia where dragon-riding is the realm's salvation. This is a romantasy series, suitable for 17+ that grows spicier with every book. For fans of Rebecca Yarros, Sarah J.
