She was never supposed to bond a dragon. The storm didn't care. Rhoswen Kade is the lowest-ranked cadet in a kingdom of floating sky-citadels - a foundling with no House, no crest, and no reason to expect the Bonding Ring to choose her. Then a wild storm-dragon falls out of the clouds and claims her anyway, and everything she thought she knew about her place in Aerie Vantor comes apart at once. Paired on patrol with Cassian Thorne - heir to a rival House, and the one person she's resented her entire life - Rhoswen uncovers a conspiracy hidden in the kingdom's storm-charts, one already responsible for ships lost and lives quietly erased. To stop it, she and Cassian will have to trust each other with more than a shared sky: their reputations, their Houses, and a rivalry neither of them expected to become something else entirely. What's Inside: - A slow-burn enemies-to-allies romance between a fiercely self-made foundling and the noble heir who finally sees her clearly - A wild, thundering dragon bond that answers to no crown and no crest - A kingdom-spanning conspiracy of falsified charts, buried truths, and a council with everything to lose - Sky-high, cinematic dragon-flight scenes above a world of floating citadels and storm-lines - A complete, standalone fantasy romance with a satisfying happy ending - closed-door, swoony, and safe for every reader - A story about being chosen exactly as you are, and choosing someone back Perfect for readers who love slow-burn romantasy, enemies-to-allies dragon riders, found family above the clouds, and fantasy kingdoms built on secrets waiting to be uncovered. If you loved sky-high dragon-rider adventures with a rivals-to-lovers heart, Rhoswen and Cassian's story is your next obsession.
