The Fire Within Her: Vol. 1

The academy did not train Aria Blackheart.
It broke her.

As a rider in Aldenmoor's most feared rider academy, Aria is subjected to relentless torture disguised as training, pushed beyond the limits of endurance by the merciless Administrator Thorne. Pain is discipline. Survival is a privilege. And failure means death.

Her only salvation is Leviathan, the last colossal black dragon, and the bond that ties their fates together.

When Aria uncovers the truth behind an ancient prophecy, she realizes the academy has been preparing her for something far worse than war. She is the foretold harbinger, the warrior destined to wield both fire and ice-power meant to reduce kingdoms to ash.

The awakening of her dormant ice magic confirms their intentions. Aldenmoor does not want peace. They want conquest. And Aria is meant to be their living weapon.

Refusing to be controlled, Aria betrays the nation that destroyed her and forges dangerous alliances with rival kingdoms. With Leviathan at her side and vengeance burning in her veins, she turns her fury toward the very empire that forged her suffering.

Because if Aldenmoor wants ruin-
she will decide who it falls upon.
