Wings of Obsidian

"Fly together. Or fall alone." In the gutters of the capital, survival is an art-and Lauren Black has mastered it.Small, quick, and invisible, she's spent her entire life stealing just enough to live. But everything changes the moment she meets Nyx, a wild obsidian-scaled dragon. Overnight, she's ripped from the streets and thrown into the brutal world of the Ranger's Keep, where dragons are weapons, the sky is a battlefield, and weakness gets you killed.Surrounded by noble-born riders trained since childhood, Lauren is outmatched in every way. She lacks their strength, their discipline, and their privilege, but she has something they don't: a ruthless instinct to survive, and a dragon who refuses to be controlled.As rivalries sharpen and training turns deadly, Lauren is forced to confront a brutal truth: surviving alone won't be enough. Because beyond the mountains, something monstrous is stirring-and when the war comes, hesitation won't just cost her life.It will cost Nyx's.To survive the sky, Lauren must do the one thing she's never done before: Trust.
