THE DRAGON RIDER

In the empire of Aerthalas, dragons are bound by ancient bloodlines to noble families. Only those born of pure royal blood can summon, ride, or even speak to dragons. For centuries, this ensured the nobility’s control over the skies—and the people below.



But everything changes when a dragon egg long thought fossilized hatches in the wilderness, far from the capital. The hatchling chooses you—a commoner, orphaned in a mining village, and barely surviving. The bond is immediate and irreversible.



Suddenly, you're hunted by dragonriders who call you an abomination, courted by rebels who believe you're a prophecy come true, and haunted by dreams of a war that ended before you were born—but might begin again because of you.
