10 parts Ongoing In the skies, power is everything-but love might be the strongest magic of all.
At Idris Academy, the world's most prestigious school for dragon riders, students are chosen based on their affinity for a dragon. The bond between rider and dragon is sacred, unbreakable, and necessary to maintain balance between the three great nations that have long teetered on the edge of war.
Seventeen-year-old Kaelene Veyra never believed she'd be chosen. From a humble village overshadowed by ancient mountains, she's been told all her life that the bond of a dragon is a gift for the powerful and privileged. Yet when a dragon of blackened scales and smoldering eyes-Ashvalyr-chooses her, everything changes.
Thrust into the cutthroat world of Idris Academy, Kaelene struggles to fit in among the elite, especially when she's paired with arrogant, golden-haired Darian Calder, the Academy's star pupil and heir to a wealthy dragon-riding dynasty. Darian's dragon, Solithar, is as fiery and dangerous as his rider, and the two seem determined to make Kaelene's life miserable.
But when political tensions rise and a dangerous shadow threatens the bond between dragons and riders, Kaelene and Darian are forced to work together to uncover a conspiracy that could destroy their world. As their rivalry turns into reluctant trust, Kaelene finds herself drawn to the boy behind the cocky facade-and he to the girl who refuses to bow to him.
