You're a captured Konohagakure ninja, and ended up finding a strange addiction to being around Konan, a blue-haired kunoichi. But, can you two really be together? People are out here trying to rescue you, and maybe all for nothing, as you're tied between your love for the village, and your love for Konan. You know it's Taboo, but, still. The love is there. //I do not own Naruto, Naruto Shippūden, nor Boruto. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this.// Edit : All A/Ns have been removed for a better reading experience.

Hated by the people she's sworn to protect, dragon rider Neely Lynch searches for her stolen dragon while struggling to control the dark powers inside her. ***** After the Culling of Naughton -- a horrific slaughter that led to the murder of several dragon riders and the destruction of two separate armies -- Neely Lynch is on the warpath. Unbeknownst to most, Neely and her friends survived the Culling and are determined to reunite with their kidnapped dragons at any cost (even if that means leaving a trail of broken and bloody bodies behind them). But finding her dragon soon becomes the least of her problems when Neely discovers her disappearance after the Culling has only added to her reputation as the infamous Vidalin Rider. Hated and scorned by the people she's sworn to protect, Neely must find a way to prove she's not the villain everyone thinks she is before her dark and deadly powers, which are slowly growing beyond her control, transform her into the very thing she's trying not to be. [The Rider's Legend can be read as Book 3 in The Rider series, or as a standalone -- but note that it will spoil Book 1 and 2] [[word count: 150,000-200,000 words]]
