The Dragons' War

Astria's only dream is to become a Dragon Rider, like her ancestors who once forced peace upon their warring neighbors. But when her father disappears, Astria is left unpartnered and untrained as the dragons leave the valley. All but Zephyr. Crippled and flightless, he refuses to leave Astria's side after she saves his life.

Astria's bond with her dragon, Zephyr, is unraveling—poisoned by a curse that is draining their strength and killing them slowly. Unable to kill the warrior-prince for the antidote, Astria infiltrates the legendary College of Singers, where ancient songs shape reality itself. But no magic comes without a price. Disguised as both performer and spy, she travels from shadowed taverns to gilded courts, scouring the country for a new cure with the aid of an unlikely duo: a secretive giant and a sharp-tongued dwarf.

The Northern States of Juro rose from blood and rebellion, carved out by those who would not bow to tyranny. Diana was born into that legacy—daughter of a militia colonel and a warrior known as the Angel of Death. But when an assassin's arrow claims her mother's life, Diana is thrust into a far greater war. With only her mother's dying words to guide her, she discovers the dark artifact at the heart of the spreading corruption: the Book of Chaos.
