You came to Basgiath to become a rider. You never expected an ancient dragon to choose you. You never expected Xaden Riorson to know your name before you ever met him. And you definitely never expected your mother’s death to be connected to both of them. Aurex has been waiting twenty years to find you. Xaden has been hiding the truth about your past. And somewhere between deadly training, forbidden secrets, dragon bonds, and a dangerously slow-burning attraction, you’re beginning to realize one thing: You were never meant to survive Basgiath. You were meant to uncover what it was built to hide. The dragon chose you. The shadow wants you. The truth could destroy you all.
1996. Hogwarts is changing. As darkness spreads across the wizarding world, mysterious events begin unfolding within the castle itself. Hidden corridors appear, ancient magic awakens, and secrets long buried beneath Hogwarts are waiting to be uncovered. When you arrive as a new sixth-year student, your path unexpectedly crosses with Draco Malfoy. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two of you must unravel a mystery older than Hogwarts itself—all while navigating a war, dangerous secrets, and feelings neither of you expected.
