Their hearts soar together. Their world demands they stay apart.

In Embernia, where dragons rule the skies and loyalty is forged in flame, Rhealyn Wyndward wants only one thing: power. Not for glory—but to ensure no one she loves is ever broken again. Branded dangerous for the magic in her mind, she hides her scars behind ambition and joins the elite dragon riders, determined to rise through the ranks.

But her mission is threatened by the one man she cannot ignore.

Vaylen Stormsong, High Prime of the Sky Order, is honor-bound and unshakable—until Rhealyn crashes into his world with stormfire in her veins and a defiant spark in her eyes. He’s her commander. She’s the chaos he never saw coming. And in the skies, secrets fly faster than dragons.

Their connection is forbidden. Their attraction, explosive. And the king who watches them from the shadows would destroy them both before letting their bond ignite a rebellion.

In a realm of aerial warfare, elemental magic, and treacherous court politics, love is the most dangerous weapon of all.

Will Rhealyn and Vaylen risk everything for a passion that could change Embernia forever—or lose each other to the war between heart and duty?

Vengeance has wings. Secrets have claws. But the truth may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

A year of my life is missing, stolen by darkness. I can’t remember anything, and when I return to Embernia, the realm I left behind hasn’t changed.

But I have.

Once, I was a bonded Skysinger, the best if my kind. Now, I return to whispers, suspicion, and a stranger in the mirror. My disappearance fractured more than memories. It left cracks in the life I tried to build and the thunderous relationship I shared with Vaylen Stormsong, Embernia’s irresistible High Prime.

He’s spent the last year carrying the weight of duty and the grief of my loss. But my return brings more than renewed passion. It brings danger. Shadows gather between us, secrets I can’t remember and forces determined to tear us apart.

The Screechclaw War rages on, and ancient forces stir beneath the surface. To save Embernia, I must uncover the truth of my missing year before it destroys everything. But the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes: the greatest threat isn’t the enemy beyond the border. It’s the truth slowly awakening within me and what it might cost me.
