The Cliffside Riders

For centuries, the Cliffside Kingdom has endured because of an ancient bond between dragons and the riders they choose. But that bond is beginning to break. As winter closes in and rival kingdoms gather at the borders, whispers spread of dragons being bound against their will-an impossible act that threatens to unravel the very foundation of their world. Ryker has spent his life believing that everyone he loves is safer without him. Elara has spent hers trying to bury the memories that refuse to stay buried. When both are chosen by dragons whose mysterious connection defies ancient law, they are drawn into a conspiracy that reaches far beyond their kingdom-one capable of turning dragons into weapons and fear into power. As forgotten runes awaken and long-buried truths rise from history, they discover that the greatest battles are not always fought with swords or dragonfire, but within the stories people tell themselves. In a world where every rune remembers and every bond demands trust, Ryker and Elara must confront the wounds that have shaped them before they can stop a war that could destroy everything they love. Because healing isn't forgetting what happened. It's discovering that no one was ever meant to carry their story alone. Epic in scope yet deeply personal, The Cliffside Riders is a tale of dragons, ancient magic, sacrifice, and hope-a story about the courage to be known, the strength found in connection, and the bonds that remind us our scars are not the end of our story.
