The empire's dragons are dying, its enemies are circling, and the last egg at the Hatching just chose a stablehand.
Corin Drake mucks the dragon roosts. By imperial law a lowborn like him will never sit a saddle — riders are bred from noble blood and trained at the Skyspire to be the empire's deadliest weapon. Then a runt black dragon the masters were about to put down looks past a hundred highborn cadets and bonds him — in front of the entire court.
Now Corin is the most hated cadet at Skyspire. The Dominion's wyvern-hosts are burning the border, the dragon corps shrinks every year, and he has one way to survive the nobles, the trials, and the war: out-fly every rider born better than him.
He won't do it alone.
��� Vesper — the cull-list runt who chose him, a feral dragon-girl partner with
a bloodline nobody recognizes yet
�� Cassia Aldermont — gold-dragon heiress and the rival who'd love to see him
expelled (enemies to lovers)
✔ Reyna — the scarred wing-captain who starts to see something in him
✔ Incoming: a captured Dominion rider with her own reasons to switch sides
Content Alert: 18+ only.
Contains explicit consensual intimacy, enemies-to-lovers heat, rider-rank progression, and found-family dynamics. All characters are adult, consenting, and unrelated.
