Ashborn

Dareya Calderin was trained to obey.As a Rider in the Order, she was taught that dragons are controlled, bonds are regulated, and balance is everything. Structure is survival. Control is peace.Until the whispers begin.Rumors of an Ashborn bond—long dismissed as myth—spread through the Aerie. Training halts. Leadership fractures. Riders begin watching one another. And Dareya starts learning things that don't match the official record. When she demands answers, she's told her memories are compromised. When she refuses to let it go, she's warned she's risking everything. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: the threat isn't a dragon uprising. It's the Order itself.Something is being hidden—something powerful enough that erasing a Rider would be easier than admitting the truth. And Dareya may be the one they can't control.Ashborn is a dark fantasy of control, memory, and rebellion, where truth is dangerous—and remembering it is worse.
