A chosen rider. A legendary dragon. A deadly prophecy that could ignite a war.

Ashlyn Veyne was never meant to survive the Ashmark Trial. Born to a disgraced bloodline and abandoned by the Council, her only path to redemption lies in bonding with a dragon—or dying trying.

But when she defies all odds and bonds with Vaelrik, a legendary flame-dragon thought to be extinct, she awakens an ancient mark and a prophecy long buried. She is one of the Talons of Fire and Fate, fated to either save the dragon realms... or destroy them.

As war brews in the skies and betrayal stalks her every step, Ashlyn must unite the remaining Talons, confront her haunted past, and choose between love and destiny—before the shadows rise again.

Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Eragon, and Throne of Glass, this emotionally intense fantasy blends romance, rebellion, and fire-breathing dragons into a story that will leave you breathless.
