At the Draconis War Academy, where the bravest are forged in dragonfire and the weak are left behind, few names command as much respect-or fear-as Caspian Talon.
A third-year cadet bound to one of the rarest shadow dragons ever born, Caspian has earned his legend through discipline, ferocity, and an unbreakable will. To his peers, he is both a symbol of excellence and a warning of what it costs to reach it. Feared by rivals and revered by mentors, he stands at the pinnacle of the academy's elite-a rider untouchable, unmatched, and unstoppable.
But beneath the armor of glory lies a secret that could shatter the fragile order of the academy-and ignite a war no dragon or rider is ready to fight. When Caspian takes an unexpected interest in a fiery new first-year, his carefully controlled world begins to unravel. The connection between them sparks questions of loyalty, destiny, and power that the academy's masters would rather keep buried.
As whispers of forbidden magic echo through the mountains and an ancient enemy stirs once more, Caspian must confront the truth about his bond, his bloodline, and the destiny that could turn even the mightiest rider into a weapon of ruin.

Weightless on the Wind || Fourth Wing || (♡ Garrick Tavis)
She crossed the Parapet with her eyes closed. No one knew her name. Not really. Not the riders, not the commandant. Not even the boy she once knew, who now leads the very quadrant she's been thrown into. Aeliana Sorynne is a survivor. Marked by magic, scarred by secrets, raised in the shadows of rebellion. Now, she enters Basgiath War College under a name no one remembers - carrying nothing but a rune, a memory, and the skills of someone who should've died years ago. Assigned to Fourth Wing, Tail Section, Second Squad, Aeliana must navigate brutal training, suspicious cadets, and the heavy eyes of dragons that seem to see more than they should. She's not here to be chosen. She's here to endure. But surviving is never that simple - not when her past walks the same halls, not when dragons are watching, and not when trust could mean everything... or cost her everything.

Isla Sorrengail has spent her life surviving in the shadows, sharpening her instincts like a blade. But Basgiath War College is not the kind of battlefield she was trained for. Here, brute strength means little without a dragon willing to bond, and power is earned through blood and strategy. No one knew she existed before she arrived-not the cadets glaring at her back, not the instructors watching her every move, not even the sister who should have known. But Isla is not here to make friends. She is here to claim what was stolen from her-her name, her family, her place in the world. But Basgiath is built to break the weak. And Isla? She has no intention of breaking. Even when rivals seek revenge. Even when her own past hunts her down. Even when the wingleader with shadows in his eyes-Xaden Riorson-watches her like he's trying to unravel her secrets. She will not falter. She will not kneel. She will not lose. Because Isla Sorrengail has already lost everything once. And she refuses to do it again.
