The Skyborn Conspiracy: A Fantasy Academy Why Choose Romance

Wings of the Enigma Academy, Book Three

By: R.F. Price

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Alliances forged. Wards failing. A conspiracy to drop the sky.

As spring dawns over the floating fortress of Enigma Academy, Arianne Cerys—the last Mindlinker and girl of prophecy—faces her fiercest test yet. Delegates flood the towers for the Sky Alliance Summit, but beneath the silks and speeches, enemies move to shatter the warding spires and tilt whole islands toward the Veiled Realm.

Whispers of treason point at dragon riders, shadow mages stroll the gala in borrowed faces, and a charismatic rival returns with secrets sharp enough to cut through stone. When a synchronized strike cripples the academy’s defenses, Arianne must wield her rare gift to command dragons, gryphons, and storm falcons at once—or watch the sky itself fall.

Three dangerous, irrevocably entangled hearts stand with her:

• Thorne Drakar — the brooding rider fighting a smear campaign against his clan—loyal to Arianne even if it costs him everything.
• Felix Brightwood — the storm-clever alchemist testing a risky device that could stabilize breaches…or blow the wards apart.
• Riven Altair — the headmaster’s son, playing the council like a chessboard to keep Arianne alive one move longer.

When fireworks bloom over the summit gala and the spires begin to fail, love turns into strategy, trust into lifelines, and the mask of the true traitor finally falls. To save the archipelago, Arianne must push her mindlink beyond its limits—and pay the price written in prophecy.
