Turns out, being a Dragon Rider isn't all exhilarating flights and stolen kisses …

It also means surviving a brutal training program and facing off against rivals who want me gone.

Did I mention I'm human and everyone expects me to crash and burn?

But that's not all weighing on me. Between a dragon bond that grows stronger (and stranger) by the day, a mysterious wildfire threatening to engulf the countryside, and dangerous enemies moving against us in the shadows, it's hard enough to stay alive, let alone untangle the web of connections forming with my companions.

Each of these captivating, infuriating men challenges me in ways I never expected—pushing me, shielding me, and making me question loyalties I thought were unshakable. Keeping my heart out of the equation? Not likely.

If I'm going to rise from the ashes of sabotage and desire, I'll need to trust the bonds I've formed, even if it means risking my heart in the process.

Contains mature themes.
