I came north to get fourteen keepers home. Then I found the machine feeding their dragon to the enemy.
I'm Corin Drake: former groom, newly tested Lancer, and the rider of a black dragon whose power can leave her shaking on the ground. Frostline needs a rescue wing. Mine needs time to heal. The captain holding the valley intends to give us neither.
A blocked road becomes an ambush. A truce puts a captive woman's freedom on the bargaining table. And the enemy's frost hosts are growing stronger while an old station mare can barely lift her head. If I want to bring everyone back, I'll have to command the wing I actually have—and stop asking the people I love to survive impossible orders.
Vesper, my sharp-toothed shapeshifter partner, whose next breakthrough could cost more than a battle. ✔
Cassia, a noble rider choosing her own command and learning to fight around her dragon’s permanent scar. ✔
Reyna, a veteran captain who knows exactly what a rescue can take from the people doing it. ✔
Nieve, an enemy handler with a missing mount, dangerous knowledge, and a future nobody gets to choose for her. ✔
• Earned progression: flight training, field command, and a dangerous power with limits that matter.
• Aerial tactics: coordinated wings, finite breath attacks, changing terrain, and an enemy who learns.
• Rescue under fire: captive keepers, wounded dragons, and a winter road that won't stay open.
• An expanding adult household: established partners, slow-building trust, and a freely chosen new relationship.
• A complete regional conflict: save Frostline while uncovering one piece of a much larger war.
