Introduction to "Wings of Harmony"
Long ago, dragons and riders soared as partners beneath open skies, their bond as natural as breath. In that age, trust outshone fear, and the world knew a fragile balance. But wars and betrayals shattered those old accords, twisting unity into suspicion and cruelty. Over centuries, the art of true dragon-riding became little more than a distant legend-whispered among hopeful novices, scoffed at by hardened warriors.
Now, on the brink of collapse, a once-proud academy stands as a bastion of rigid discipline rather than mutual understanding. Its students learn to command dragons by force and tradition, not empathy. Yet within these weathered walls and smoke-stained training grounds, a quiet rebellion stirs. A young rider named Nyra, haunted by her family's mysterious legacy, dares to question the old doctrines and the tyrants who enforce them.
When a shadow from the past-Dainor, a figure thought long defeated-rises to challenge all that remains of decency and hope, alliances fracture and blood darkens the soil. Wyverns descend in ravenous swarms, and dragons struggle beneath heavy chains. Caught between these forces, Nyra must risk forging bonds deeper than any oath of obedience. She must uncover lost truths, rekindle trust between human and beast, and claim her own place in a lineage that once promised harmony to all.
In "Wings of Harmony," war and love, fear and faith, memory and destiny collide. Through battles fought in flame-lit skies and confessions murmured in half-ruined crypts, a new era takes shape-one that may finally break the cycle of violence. As ancient secrets awaken and swords turn to ploughshares, riders and dragons learn once more to dance together in open air, guided not by dominance, but by understanding and hope.
Iseul had her whole life figured out, from her profession to her marriage, but when her worst nightmare came to life and everything slipped from her fingers she only sought one thing. And everyone knows Death sees justice and revenge as the same.
