((ON TEMPORARY HOLD... WILL RETURN SOON FOR BOOK 2)) Only seventeen pilgrims have ever survived the journey to the ruins of Luicane. Ember of the Star Temple is meant to be the eighteenth. Raised to tend the dead and serve a silent goddess, Ember expects her final pilgrimage to bring only stone and ghosts. Instead, she finds a wounded dragon - and awakens a power the world believed lost forever. Bound by fire, stars, and blood, Ember becomes something forbidden: a rider. Now every throne, every spell, and every blade in Ezryth will turn toward her. Hunted by a corrupt sorcerer, feared by a boy king, stalked by secret dragon hunters, and shadowed by an ancient witch, Ember must protect the dragon who chose her... even as the truth of what they are begins to reshape the world. Because some miracles are not meant to be found. And some wings were never meant to stay clean. ((Updates twice a week))
