Seris Vale was ordinary. Forgotten in a fading town, scraping by shift to shift, she thought the only fire in her life came from the matches she lit to keep herself warm.
Until the night the fire answered back.
Dragged into a world of ancient magic, ruthless politics, and creatures that stalk the shadows, Seris discovers she isn't just anyone-she's a name whispered in a legend older than the school that now claims her. A school where dragons choose their riders, shadows have teeth, and secrets burn hotter than any flame.
Bound to a boy she'd rather despise than trust, Seris must walk the razor's edge between fire and shadow, desire and danger. Because the legend doesn't care if she's ready.
It only cares if she survives.

The Space Between Lightning
She's still small-but she's not soft. A reimagining of Fourth Wing with a heroine who's not just fragile and tiny-she's powerful, dangerous, and absolutely not afraid of dragons or heartbreak - currently trending in Liam Mairi. Expect slow-burn romance, deadly training, a messy love triangle, and a shadow boy who's very much not out of reach... yet. This is also partly my guilty pleasure. It won't follow every detail of the book, but will still follow the major plot points. - Apparently you all like dragons and slow burns 😊 #1 in dragon riders 🐉
