* Currently being re-edited!* The Fourth Installment of the Rider's Series Following the battle for Ithrall, the Ashbourne Riders find themselves leading a country that is on the brink of ruin, where the odds are stacked against them and they have everything to lose. --------------------------------------------------- Valaxia has been thrown into certain turmoil. The Council is scattered and Ithrall is gone. No longer hated but feared by the country she has sworn to protect, dragon Rider Neely Lynch knows that they are the last defense against Acheron and a broken country. But the stakes are higher. The armies are scattered. The leaders are divided and Acheron's goal reaches beyond Valaxia, to the human realm that knows nothing of magic or dragons. To fail would mean the end of Valaxia and magic forever. Cover credit goes to the wonderful @CarrKann. Check out their beautiful work on their profile. x

Book Two in the Riders Series - Behind the magic and splendour of Valaxia, lies a darker world of torture, betrayal and deceit. One that Neely Lynch has become too well acquainted with; her life contained to the cells of Acheron and her soul hidden from the one who shares it. It festers, growing dark just like those who came before her as she fights to survive in a world that only wants to see her gone. The tide in Valaxia is turning, the truths of history rearing its ugly head. She will learn, they all will learn just why Valaxia fears the Vidalin Rider.

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.
