Stormborne
Two months ago, Eirik Ashborn was cast out-named no son, no heir, no future.
Now the sky carries him.
Bound to Nyxar, a dragon as ancient as the storms themselves, Eirik has become something the world does not understand-and will soon learn to fear. Together, they move unseen between cloud and sea, surviving where no one should, striking where no one expects. Not as master and beast, but as something far older.
Something chosen.
When Eirik intervenes in a brutal raid, sparing the innocent and breaking seasoned warriors with nothing but fear and fire, whispers begin to spread across the waters. Of a shadow in the storm. Of a dragon who hunts men-but does not slaughter the helpless. Of a rider who falls from the sky like judgment... and vanishes just as quickly.
Some will call it an omen.
Others, a weapon.
And some will hunt it.
Far behind him, on the island he once called home, Chieftain Bluetooth Ashborn refuses to accept what others already have-that his son is gone. While the tribe searches the seas for a body, hope lingers in silence, buried beneath duty and pride. Only Thorstein, the nephew who took the path Eirik never could, dares to search where others will not-into the forgotten places, where a boy who wished to disappear might still be alive.
But the truth is far more dangerous than any of them realize.
Because Eirik is not simply surviving.
He is becoming.
And as ancient forces stir, and old powers begin to take notice, the bond between boy and dragon may be more than chance... more than fate.
It may be the beginning of something the world is not ready for.
