The House of Leaders and Warriors

Amara was meant to study the past. Not survive the future. All her life, she believed she'd become a scryer like her father-decoding ancient texts, learning the secrets of the Faylin world, and earning a quiet, respectable place in Altherra. She has no wings like her fairy mother. No magic. No power. Just a sharp mind and a plan. But the gods had other ideas. Without warning, Amara's fate is cast into the House of Warriors and Leaders-an unforgiving academy where royals train to fight, bond with dragons, and rule. To survive, she'll have to master weapons she was never meant to touch, endure deadly trials, and face rivals who would rather see her bleed than succeed. Worse, she finds herself tangled in the attention of two brothers: one charming and reckless, the other cold and unreadable. Both dangerous. Both hiding secrets. And when a forbidden dragon begins calling to her from the shadows, Amara is pulled into a bond unlike any other-one that demands everything: her pain, her past, and maybe even her life. One bond. Two brothers. A girl the gods tried to break. The battle for her future has just begun.
