In a republic shadowed by rising war and ancient magic, a prodigy born of frost walks the line between legacy and duty.
Asa Norrid was raised in the high north, shaped by cold winds, older legends, and the quiet strength of the Frostspeakers. At sixteen, she leaves her mountain home to train at the Republic's elite war college-just as border skirmishes begin to escalate into something far more dangerous.
The academy is no longer a place for slow mastery. Veterans arrive with grim news, training accelerates, and whispers of a wider conflict stir beneath the surface. As Asa's winter magic deepens and loyalties begin to fracture, she must navigate political intrigue, buried rivalries, and the harsh realities of a war she may not be ready for.
The republic wants a weapon. Asa must decide if she will be one.

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite)
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.Complete

Book I - The Fifth Wing
"Power is easy to earn. Trust is what kills you." For centuries, the dragons of Elarion have chosen their riders-men and women forged in the crucible of the Aegirion War College, the King's most powerful weapon. Only those strong enough to survive its trials ever see the sky again. Seventeen-year-old Will Spencer never dreamed of joining their ranks. Quiet, analytical, and unbonded, he enters Aegirion as little more than a name on a roster-one cadet among hundreds fighting for the chance to serve the crown. But the College is not what it seems. Beneath the drills, oaths, and bloodshed, lies a system built on control-and a war far older than the one being fought on the fields below. When a black dragon older than the College itself chooses Will, the world shifts. He gains a Signet of Shadow, a forbidden power that could save or destroy him-and the notice of those who would see him broken before he learns the truth. In a place where loyalty is law and dragons answer to no man, Will must survive brutal training, rivalries that burn like flame, and the growing pull toward Lily Valen, the lightning-wielding prodigy sworn to uphold the King's command. But trust is a dangerous thing at Aegirion. Because in the Fifth Wing, the sky isn't just a battlefield-it's a promise, and every promise comes with a price.
