Wren never expected her life to change the moment she set foot in the Riders Quadrant at Basgiath War College. But everything shifted when she met Liam Mairi. Loving him was effortless, bright, and full of promise. Losing him was shattering. His death left Wren broken in ways even her powerful dragon, Ryuu, couldn't mend. Grief made her question everything-her strength, her future, even her place among her friends. Ridoc's reckless jokes, Violet's fierce loyalty, and Rhiannon's steady hand are the only things keeping her tethered to a world that feels dimmer without Liam in it. But when Ryuu, her Red Swordtail Dragon, chooses a mate, Wren finds herself bound to another in a way neither of them expected. Their bond is raw and undeniable, forged in fire and loss. Yet letting herself feel something new feels like a betrayal of Liam's memory. Now Wren must decide if love after loss can be just as fierce, and if her heart has the courage to beat again.

Daphne has a secret. A secret worth killing her for. Leaving her old life behind she runs away from home to become a dragon rider at Basgiath. No one can know who she is.

Staying in the shadows becomes nearly impossible with a certain dragon rider trying to bore himself into her life. A dragon rider that might kill her if he figures out who she really is.
