As the daughter of General Melgren, Y/N has spent her entire life preparing for Basgiath War College. She knows how to fight. How to survive. How to endure. What she doesn’t know is why her father has spent years hiding the truth from her. At Basgiath, where dragons bond, cadets die, and weakness is a death sentence, Y/N is quickly dismissed as another fragile first-year destined to fall from the Parapet before ever earning a dragon. They’re wrong. Because Y/N has been carrying a dangerous secret since she was ten years old. A power that should not exist. A power she was ordered to keep hidden. But secrets have a way of surfacing, and every sacrifice Y/N makes awakens something new within her. As deadly trials, ancient lies, and buried truths begin to unravel, she finds herself caught between loyalty to her father and the terrifying reality of what she is becoming. In a kingdom built on secrets, some powers were never meant to awaken.
