Alyssa Melgren, aged twenty, harbored a fervent desire to enlist in the esteemed Riders Quadrant. Despite her mother and elder sister's efforts to groom her for the tranquil life of the Scribe Quadrant, surrounded by books and historical tomes, Alyssa's fate took an unexpected turn. Her father, the commanding General of Navarre's armies, decreed otherwise. He insisted that Alyssa, like all members of the Melgren lineage, was destined for the skies as a dragon rider, not confined to the quiet confines of scholarly pursuits.
With fewer dragons inclined to form bonds than there are cadets, many would opt to eliminate Alyssa to enhance their own prospects for success. Others would seek her demise simply for being her father's daughter-like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
With each dawn, she relies more on her sharp intellect to navigate the impending dangers. Yet, as time progresses, the external conflict escalates, the kingdom's defenses weaken, and casualties mount. Adding to her distress, Alyssa harbors suspicions that those in charge conceal a dreadful truth.
