At Aetherwind Academy, where storm dragons bond with the chosen few, Kaelara hides a dangerous secret-she's the heir to a fallen stormblood line, believed to have been extinguished decades ago. Her dragon, Veyra, is wild, untamed, and bonded through a forbidden ritual that could see Kaelara executed if discovered.
Commander Thane, the academy's fiercest instructor, sees what others don't: a rider who could command the skies or destroy them. But the more he trains her, the deeper he's drawn to her stormfire spirit.
When a betrayal from within the academy threatens to unleash an ancient tempest, Kaelara must choose:
Expose her lineage and risk death,
Or sacrifice the man who believes in her destiny.
Their hearts are bound by lightning but love between stormborne and soldier is punishable by flame.
Perfect for readers who love forbidden romance, dragon bonds, magical academies, and high-stakes destiny.
