She was never meant to wield magic. Her dragon was never meant to fight. Together, they’ll change everything.

War has consumed Destia, reaching even the remote farmlands where Eva Thirsk toils for a family that never truly wanted her. So when army recruiters arrive, Eva seizes her chance to escape—and maybe uncover what happened to her long-lost parents.

Assigned to the menial supply ranks, Eva meets Perrell, a weary pack dragon bred to haul gear and provisions, not soar into battle like the bonded war-dragons of legend. When a resupply mission goes catastrophically wrong, Eva accidentally breaks an ancient seal…unleashing the Venistrare Warlock, a being of devastation long imprisoned.

In the chaos that follows, something awakens between girl and dragon—strange visions, surges of power, and a bond no pack beast should be capable of forming.

To save Destia, they’ll have to rise above what the world believes they are: a nobody and a beast of burden. Because even the lowliest dragon can carry the weight of destiny… and even the smallest spark can ignite a war.

Dragon rider school was supposed to be a dream. Instead, it’s a battlefield.

Eva Thirsk and her former pack dragon, Perrell, have come to Fairspell Academy to prove they belong among Destia’s elite riders. But the academy’s shining towers hide rot beneath the stone. To the nobles, Eva’s a lowborn imposter; to the instructors, Perrell’s a runt better suited to hauling cargo than facing war.

Every lesson is a reminder—they weren’t meant to be here.

Worse, Eva’s magic is changing. She commands earth, yet she can see the currents of fire and air—and even draw on them. That kind of magic blending is forbidden, outlawed since the last mage who tried it burned half the continent. But the more Eva resists it, the stronger it grows.

As rivalries sharpen and old secrets rise from the depths of Fairspell, Eva and Perrell will have to decide how far they’re willing to go to claim their place in a world that was never built for them.

The journey is treacherous for a fugitive and her injured dragon…

Young dragon rider Winnie is on the run with her injured dragon Kygo. They’re determined to get back to Destia, and warn the Athelian king of a dangerous new power on the rise.

But the threat to Winnie and Kygo doesn’t just come from Aramys and his Fantisian troops. Until Winnie understands her new powers, she won’t be able to control them. Seeking shelter and answers from a secret clan that shuns Fantisian politics, Winnie discovers her destiny may be even greater than she imagined.

When tragedy strikes, Winnie will need to master her powers to prove herself worthy of the clan’s support. Controlling her lifeforce magic is the key to defeating Aramys and protecting her kingdom.

Winnie must learn to accept her changing powers if she is ever going to make it home. If she fails, she, her dragon, and all of Destia will pay the price.

To save her home, Winnie must find the courage to embrace her destiny…

Safely back in Destia, Winnie is eager to continue her studies, and deepen her understanding of lifeforce magic. But when King Francis sends Winnie on a rescue mission to free an imprisoned mage delegation, she is thrust back into a world of danger and adventure. Only Winnie and her magic can save the lost mages… assuming she can find the courage to face Aramys and his sinister shifters.

With her dragon, Kygo, at her side, Winnie must call upon every ounce of her magical powers. But her rescue mission reveals an even greater threat when she discovers the true extent of Aramy’s monstrous scheme. And if he succeeds, every human in Fantis will be in grave in danger.

Her only hope to stop him is to unearth the secrets of the cradle, a source of power strong enough to counter the greatest magic. Battle looms on the horizon. The final conflict draws near…

As dark magic threatens to engulf Destia, a young mage and an orphan may be the kingdom’s only hope…

Eva Thirsk is no dragon rider, cleaning out the stable is as close as she’ll ever come. Perrell is a pack dragon who longs to fly into battle but is too small for combat. Courage burns in their hearts, but it seems destined to remain untested.

Then the warlock Malcolm Venistrare escapes his magical prison, and everything changes.

Eva finds herself imbued with powerful new magical abilities that transform she and Perrell into the dragon-riding team they’ve always dreamed of being. But within that power lies a dangerous secret about Eva’s bloodline.

Will Destia support Eva’s battle against the warlock—or will the kingdom turn against her once the truth is revealed?

Winnie has always dreamt of being a mage. So when she’s chosen to travel with a delegation to the capital of Fantis, she seizes the chance to prove herself to the Fairspell Magic Academy. But Winnie’s determination soon plunges her into a mystery that threatens the kingdom’s magic.

Imprisoned and tormented by experiments, Winnie becomes bound to a fierce dragon named Kygo.

But the experiment that binds them together makes Winnie’s newfound powers erratic and dangerous. And she’ll need every ounce of that power to face a treacherous enemy. With Kygo at her side, Winnie must unearth the secrets of a source of power strong enough to defeat the greatest magic.

Can this unlikely pair harness their new abilities in time to save the kingdom?
