Wyrmforged

In the smoking ruins of her past, Elara's scales glow with a power she cannot control—and a connection to her dragon Vorlag is fracturing from within.

After surviving the dragon attack that orphaned her, Elara thought the worst was over. She was wrong. Strange energy signatures pulse through the Ash Wastes, and her own powers erupt in accidental bursts of flame that threaten everyone around her. When Borin arrives with news of a council of riders in Ignis Spire, Elara dares to hope for answers. But the city is a prison of dragonfire chains and sneering elites who see her as nothing but a scavenger.

Worse, the council is led by Kaelen—the man whose name alone makes her scar burn and Vorlag's fury roar. He speaks of "Binding fractures" in the north, of rogue dragons and ancient threats, but his concern feels like a performance. As Vorlag retreats into silence and Elara's control slips, she realizes the true danger isn't the dragons hunting them—it's the secrets buried in their bones, the lies whispered in the Spire, and the terrifying possibility that her bond with Vorlag is both her greatest strength and her deadliest weakness.

With escalating peril, forbidden romance, and lore-rich worldbuilding, *Wyrmforged* perfects the romantasy balance between heart-pounding intrigue and dragonfire passion. The bonds that define us can also destroy us—and some fractures can never be healed.
