Description
Conscription Day at Drakemoor Citadel means only one thing: most who walk through the volcanic gates will not walk out again.
Seraphina “Sera” Vael grew up trapped by a chronic wasting lung illness, written off as too fragile to survive the brutal trials of the dragon rider academy. Defying her grandmother, she sneaks into conscription, chasing the truth behind her mother’s infamous death. Her mother was accused of poisoning the father of Kaelen Voss, Drakemoor’s youngest and most feared Wing Commander, bonded to a deadly Shade dragon.
Sera carries a forbidden gift no one suspects: she can understand the ancient tongue of dragons. When the deadly Scorch Stairs nearly claim her life, Kaelen’s shadow dragon saves her — and speaks directly into her mind. Now Kaelen has seen her secret.
Trapped in an academy where failure equals death, where dragons weave their souls to their riders and old conspiracies smolder beneath volcanic stone, Sera and Kaelen are bound by hatred, secrets, and an unavoidable pull. Survival demands trust. Trust might destroy them both.
