Dragon-riders are bred from noble blood alone. Nobody told the roost’s fiercest dragon that — and now the whole court has to live with his choice.
Isolwen Cragside has spent every one of her twenty-four years in the lower pens of Galeroost, a fortress-court built into a wind-scoured sea-cliff where dragon-riders are bred, trained, and bonded from noble blood alone. She mixes gripwax and hauls feed for cadets who don’t know her name, and she has spent three years secretly tending the one dragon nobody else will go near: Vhorrak, the roost’s fiercest war-dragon, blamed for maiming the last three noble hopefuls who tried to bond him, locked away as unbondable and past saving.
Then, in the middle of this year’s Choosing, in front of every trained noble cadet standing in the ring, Vhorrak breaks his own chains and bows to her. Galeroost has no rite for that, and Roost-Marshal Torbin Ossory, third generation, genuinely beloved, is not about to let one form. He orders the bond severed by force and tasks Wingfirst Reyner Rothvane with holding her until it can be done. What Isolwen learns from Vhorrak himself, and what Reyner learns from a ledger he was never meant to find, is that the roost’s blood-law was never real. It was invented two generations ago to bury a lowborn rider the noble houses couldn’t afford to let stand as their equal, and Reyner’s own parents died the season they found the same buried truth.
When the evidence starts to surface, Ossory doesn’t wait for a hearing. He orders Isolwen to the Widow’s Drop, the cliffside ledge once used to test an unbonded claimant’s worth, certain that if the bond is the fraud he’s already told the whole court it is, she’ll simply fall.
Perfect for readers who love rider-and-dragon romance, a hero who has to choose his own conscience over the only father he’s ever known, and a dragon who refuses to let anyone erase his choice twice.
