EMBER ASCENDANT

EMBER ASCENDANT (Book 1 of The Ashen Crown Saga)

Dragons do not choose the weak. Until one does.

In the brutal Sky Citadel, dragon bonds decide who rises-and who burns.

Elara Veyne was never meant to survive.

Outmatched, unwanted, and sent to the citadel as expendable, she expects nothing but death. Instead, she bonds with a forbidden dragon sealed away for centuries-an ancient fire the Empire tried to erase.

T
he bond fractures everything.

As whispers turn to fear and fear turns to violence, Elara uncovers a truth buried beneath chains and lies: dragons were never meant to be weapons-and neither was she.

With the Empire hunting her, riders divided, and the sky itself beginning to remember, Elara must choose between obedience and defiance... between survival and freedom.

But fire always demands a price.

And the sky is watching.

Dragon rider fantasy

Epic fantasy with political intrigue

Strong female leads

Slow-burn power & rebellion

Readers who loved Fourth Wing and want something darker, deeper, and original
