One girl. One shadow wyrm. One academy built on lies.

Ravaryn Wynter never expected to be chosen — not after her brother vanished during the deadly Reckoning at Ashveil Academy. But when a legendary shadow wyrm bonds to her in front of the entire student body, she becomes a target of suspicion, envy, and fear.

As she navigates brutal trials, hidden betrayals, and growing feelings for the academy's most dangerous rider, Cassian Vale, Ravaryn uncovers a dark secret: her brother didn't die in the trials — he was executed by the Order of Ash.

Now, with war brewing and the academy caught in a web of ancient power and blood-soaked history, Ravaryn must decide: bow to the system or burn it down.

Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, Wings of the Reckless delivers fiery dragons, forbidden romance, deadly trials, and a heroine who won't stop until she uncovers the truth — or destroys the world trying.
