The Wyrmhold Reckoning

The Wyrmhold Reckoning shatters the Ashbound Riders saga wide open—turning whispered myths into weapons, romance into leverage, and dragonfire into a political sentence that can damn an empire. Kaelith and her dragon, Sythrax, have survived trials designed to erase them: collars meant to break dragons, snares meant to tame riders, and a ruling Council that calls obedience “order.” But when Kaelith exposes the machinery behind Ashspire’s control and drags its architect into the open, she learns the truth too late—he was never the true threat. He was the decoy. The real danger is colder, quieter, and already moving to replace him.

As the city seals streets and disappears witnesses under the guise of protection, Kaelith is forced into the most dangerous role of all: restraint. Every instinct demands she burn Ashspire to the ground. Every breath she holds back keeps civilians alive—and hands the empire time to turn her into its perfect villain. One uncontrolled blaze over the rooftops, one moment of rage in the sky, and the story writes itself: dragon rider rebellion, justified suppression, cages rebuilt stronger than before.

At her side stands Riven, a man who was never meant to stay. What begins as strategy becomes devotion under fire—intimate, volatile, and impossible to hide. Their bond hardens in the pressure of pursuit, making them both stronger and infinitely more vulnerable. The empire doesn’t just hunt Kaelith’s power; it targets her heart, understanding too well that love is the most efficient control mechanism of all.

Deep beneath Ashspire, Kaelith uncovers the truth of the Wyrmhold—a living stronghold of dragon memory and autonomy thought lost to legend. What she finds there changes everything. The empire has learned how to shape without chains, to bond without consent, to turn dragons into obedient weapons and riders into programmable templates. Destroying a machine is easy. Stopping what comes next is not. When a new Council power reveals itself and unleashes a controlled dragon against Sythrax, Kaelith realizes the war was never about the city. It was about claiming the last place dragons were truly free.

The Wyrmhold Reckoning is where the Ashbound Riders series becomes unstoppable—darker, sharper, and emotionally ruthless. With cinematic dragon battles, deadly political intrigue, forbidden devotion, and a heroine forced to choose between saving the dragon who would burn the world for her or protecting the ancient power that could end the empire forever, this book delivers everything romantasy readers crave.

If you love dragon rider fantasy with intense chemistry, high-stakes romance, corrupt empires, dangerous magic, and cliffhanger endings that leave you breathless and desperate for more, The Wyrmhold Reckoning will consume you.
