At Basgiath War College, Ryia Melgren grapples with a world shrouded in hidden scars and guarded secrets. Scarred by a tragic past, she immerses herself in relentless training, driven by a single, burning desire: to escape the shadow of her father. The Rebellion eight years ago shattered her world-her mother was killed for siding with the insurgents, and Ryia, who chose to follow her mother, became a target of her father's rage. Beaten and tormented, Ryia barely survived, each day a struggle for her very existence. Now, as she navigates the rigors of war college, Ryia seeks both independence and a sense of belonging, finding solace in an unexpected bond with Bodhi. Yet, every moment of connection is fraught with peril, as one wrong move could unravel the delicate web of secrecy she's worked so hard to weave. In a world where loyalty is fragile and survival is uncertain, Ryia's journey is a gripping tale of resilience, courage, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. This is a fourth Wing Fanfiction. with Ryia Melgren (OC)

The Blood Moon Festival is a deadly competition that selects the next generation of dragon riders. Most competitors spend their childhood honing their Divine - a rare, godlike power typically found in the ruling class. But Raven Black, a poor orphan with an unusually powerful Divine, spent her childhood breaking more laws than she can count. At sixteen, Raven's list of crimes is taller than she is, and she is paying the price for it. Caught and sentenced to death after a heist gone wrong, Raven figures her luck has finally run out. That is until a dragon rider sees potential in Raven's Divine and offers her a chance to avoid execution by competing in the Blood Moon Festival. With no other choice, Raven enters Skydescent, a castle where contestants train and form alliances. As the only ex-criminal, Raven figured she would be the most cutthroat, her competitors too worried about honor to get their hands dirty. But in Scadril, a powerful dragon is honor. 128 competitors enter the Blood Moon Festival, and each will do whatever it takes to come out on top.
