DNF

Power is awakening. Love is a liability. And the fate of the world rests in the hands of a grieving girl who never asked to be chosen. Still reeling from the deaths of her father and brother, Ary Gold survives only by sheer will in the icy wilds of the North. But when friends arrive with stories of long-lost magic and a power buried in her newly discovered royal blood, Ary is thrust into a fate far larger than her sorrow. The realm of Nyrida is under threat. An ancient shadow wielder is determined to claim Ary’s power and plunge the world into corrupted darkness. To stop him, Ary must marry the commander she’s been promised to—a man whose army could help them win the war—and train to fight alongside him. But her fiercest challenge may not be on the battlefield. Assigned to shape her into a warrior is a man cloaked in violence and secrets. Cold, commanding, and maddeningly unreadable, he isn’t her betrothed… but he may be her undoing. As sparks fly and loyalties are tested, Ary must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her—or risk everything for a love as wild and dangerous as the power awakening inside her.

Pureborn gods and goddesses cannot truly die. Soren Cavell was taken from her home kingdom of Mise as a child and forced into servitude in the palace of the king responsible for the murders of her family and the war against her people. As one of the Princess of Aren's handmaidens, she is bound to serve, so when the princess requests Soren travel with her to the Choosing Ceremony, she cannot deny her. But when a rare moon-white dragon picks Soren, the tide of the war changes as power begins to shift. Even as Soren falls into her new place amongst Aren's army ranks, strange dreams that have haunted her since childhood grow all the more vivid and disturbing. And when she meets her trainer, Vane Evva, she cannot help but connect the dreams to him. The past leaves deep wounds. The question is, just how fatal? The war-torn world of dragonriders in Rebecca Yarros' Fourth Wing meets the timeless, star crossed romance of When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker in this high fantasy world where echoes of the past and present collide and love paramounts all.
