Embers of the Sky

She never knew her true power.
Until the day her destiny was rewritten in fire and flight.

For fans of enchanted worlds and heart-pounding adventure, prepare to be captivated—perfect for listeners of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and Naomi Novik.

Mira Larkspur has always dreamed of a quiet life among the whispering woods and blooming herbs of her homeland. But her world shatters the moment she’s thrust into Skyward Academy—a place where legends are forged and dragons soar above the clouds. It’s here that secrets buried in her blood begin to stir, revealing a destiny she never knew she possessed.

Her estranged father—a legendary dragon rider—returns with a shocking revelation: Mira’s innate magic can speak to dragons through ancient, forbidden spells. Suddenly, she’s thrust into a deadly game of power, rivalry, and deception. Among her fellow cadets, a brooding figure named Lysander Blackthorn watches her with guarded eyes—and unspoken questions. The whispers grow louder: is she a hero, or a threat to everything?

As treacherous training and deadly rivalries escalate, Mira uncovers a conspiracy threatening to unravel the very fabric of Aetheria. Dark forces seek to enslave dragon magic for destruction, and only she holds the key to stopping them. With her newfound powers awakening, Mira must brave the unknown—learning to bond with a dragon of immense strength, even as shadows from her past threaten to consume her.

In a world where trust is fragile and danger lurks at every turn, Mira must embrace her true nature—and the magic that binds her to the skies. The fate of Aetheria hangs in the balance, and her choice could ignite a new dawn or plunge her world into eternal darkness.

The sky calls. Will she have the courage to answer?
