In a world where the skies burn with dragonfire and the air crackles with deadly magic, only the strongest survive the Skyburn Trials. Kaelen, a reluctant recruit with a shadowed past, never wanted the power of a dragon bond — but when a betrayal forces him into the elite Skyburn Academy, survival becomes his only goal. Facing ruthless rivals, brutal challenges, and a bond with a dragon who doesn't trust him, Kaelen must master fire, blade, and deceit. But the Trials are more than just a test — they hide a secret that could shatter the skies forever. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and The Hunger Games, this heart-pounding academy fantasy is filled with danger, romance, and betrayal that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
