A Rider Freely Chosen

By Jarred Vaughan

In a world where dragons are bound by power and riders are chosen by magic, Calder was never meant to belong.

Magicless, mocked, and forgotten, he should have lived and died as a healer. But when an ancient dragon long believed lost chooses him, Calder is thrust into a broken order built on control, fear, and the silence of dragons who were never truly free to choose.

As old truths awaken and the Rider core begins to fracture, Calder and Aurelth must decide whether they can survive the forces determined to claim them-or whether they will become the spark that remakes the world.

Some bonds are commanded.
Theirs was freely given.

An epic tale of dragons, freedom, and the magic beyond power.
