She was told she wasn't enough. She proved them wrong. Sera Blackwood has spent four years at the Dragonheart Academy preparing for the most important moment of her life: the Calling ceremony, where students bond with their dragon companions. It's supposed to be her destiny, her purpose, the culmination of everything she's worked for. Instead, she stands alone in the summoning circle as dragon after dragon chooses someone else. Unbonded. Unchosen. Unworthy. The Academy has no place for failures, and Sera faces a bleak future as an auxiliary mage—watching from the sidelines while others soar. But Kael Thornhart, a grief-stricken former golden boy who lost his dragon two years ago, offers her an unexpected lifeline: a dangerous expedition to the Wildlands to catalog wild dragon populations. It's a death sentence for most. For Sera, it's the only hope she has left. In the wild places, everything changes. The Wildlands are beautiful and brutal, filled with magic that refuses to be tamed. And it's there, in a hidden valley where ancient power still pulses through the earth, that Sera meets Nyx—a magnificent shadow dragon with scales like midnight and eyes like amethyst. Shadow dragons were hunted to near extinction three centuries ago, deemed too powerful, too volatile, too dangerous for human companionship. But when Nyx speaks directly into Sera's mind with a single word—Mine—everything Sera thought she knew about bonding shatters. Their connection is forbidden. Their love is inevitable. Their revolution is just beginning. The Academy demands Sera return for "assessment," threatening to sever her bond with Nyx. But Sera has spent her whole life being told she's not enough, and she's done apologizing for her power. With Kael—who's finding his way back to life and love through their growing connection—and Nyx's ancient wisdom, Sera will fight for a new vision of what dragon bonding can be. Together, they'll build a sanctuary in the Wildlands—a place for misfits and rejects, for wild dragons and wilder hearts. A place where bonds are forged in freedom, not control. Where power isn't feared but celebrated. Where those who've been told they don't belong can finally find home. But changing the world comes at a price, and the Academy won't surrender its power easily. Sera must prove that shadow dragons aren't monsters, that wild bonding isn't dangerous, and that sometimes the most revolutionary act is simply choosing yourself. Some bonds can't be broken. Some love can't be tamed. Some revolutions start with a single choice.
