Summary
They were children once. When summer afternoons stretched endless, scraped knees marked their worst wounds, and Xaden Riorson carved her name into river stones. A time when the world held space for friendship and blooming love.
Some children inherit their parents’ eyes. Others inherit their wars.
Rebellion came. Execution orders followed. Loss tore them apart and flung them to opposite sides of a war they never chose.
War orphans don’t choose sides.
And now Astrea Ysoria knows how to mend broken bones, but not herself.
But fate hurls Astrea into the Riders Quadrant with the one person who knew her before everything broke. Every breath burns with betrayal. Every glance ignites something forbidden. And she learns some hungers devour you whole.
This is the story of wounds that refuse to heal. Of loving someone you’re supposed to destroy. Of discovering that the cruelest inheritance isn’t death—it’s surviving it.
In a world where dragons soar and loyalty bleeds, Astrea must choose between duty and desire, between the child she was and the weapon she has become.
Some loves are worth dying for. Others will kill you first.
