Scales of Allegiance

In the war-scarred world of Aleeta, Andra Nightsinger enters the deadly Festival of Merits to earn a place among the elite dragon riders. When the powerful ruby dragon Virithor chooses her, Andra is thrust into a world of military duty, brutal training, and growing political tension between rival kingdoms. As war looms, Andra is shaped by the ruthless Rider Order and its expectations of her superiors, who teach her that duty must come before compassion. But while her bond with Virithor begins to be challenged under the weight of obedience and expectation, Andra’s growing connection with Xenon, the prince of the enemy kingdom Midor, forces her to question everything she was raised to believe. Caught between loyalty, love, and the devastating cost of war, Andra must decide whether she will become the weapon her kingdom demands, or the person her dragon believed she could be.
