The Starfall Binding

A bound dragon. A captive thief. A rebellion written in the stars.

Elara has survived the ash-choked slums of Aethelgard by following three simple rules: never steal from the Fae, never look them in the eye, and never leave home during the Blood Moon. But when a fever threatens her younger brother's life, she is forced to break all three.

Caught breaking into the Sunken Keep, she accidentally binds herself to a creature of terrifying cosmic power-a newly hatched Star-Drake. Thrust into the brutal world of Zenith Academy, Elara becomes an instant target. The elite High Houses want her gone, and the Fae monarchy wants to control the dragon's power before it turns against them.

Her only advantage is Prince Kaelen, the King's most dangerous enforcer. Ruthless, brilliant, and impossible to read, Kaelen takes Elara under his command and teaches her how to survive a world built to crush her. But as danger closes in and the bond between rider and dragon deepens, Elara must decide whether she can trust the one man powerful enough to save her-or destroy her.

In a kingdom built on lies, survival is only the beginning.
