Auriella Blackcreek has always lived in the shadow of her father's name. Determined to forge her own path, she enters Sandorg War College-a brutal academy divided into seven branches, where enemies are made faster than friends and survival is never guaranteed. On the challenge mats, in the barracks, and in the sky, Auri fights for one goal: to bond with a dragon and prove she is more than her bloodline. But the academy tests more than strength. It tests loyalty, courage, and the bonds that can either make or break you. Then there is Zane, a Drusearon Fae Winged warrior with a legacy as heavy as his scars. He is the last person Auri should trust... and the only one who makes her heart burn. Their connection runs deeper than either imagined, a bond as dangerous as it is undeniable. As shadows gather and secrets twist tighter around her, Auri must decide who to trust, what she's willing to risk, and whether love can survive when the cost of failure is everything. Black Wing and Shadows is a sweeping romantasy of dragon riders, deadly trials, found family, and a fated romance that refuses to be ignored.
