Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A bond forged in secret. A war that won't stay hidden. A trust three hundred years in the making.For three years, Wren Calder has kept the same secret before dawn: climbing the switchback path to the Aerie's isolation ledge with a pail of stolen fish, to sit beside the one dragon the Order swears is too dangerous to touch.They call Threnody a monster - chained for six years after the death of her first rider, kept apart from the roosts like a wound the fortress would rather not look at. Wren has never once believed it. She's a dragon-keeper's daughter with no bloodline, no bond, and no business anywhere near a creature like Threnody - and still she comes back, night after night, because someone has to, and because the storm-gray eyes watching her from the dark have never once looked like hunger.When war finally reaches the Aerie's gates, secrecy stops being a choice. What Wren and Threnody share isn't sanctioned, isn't safe, and isn't anything the Council has a category for - and the closer the fighting comes, the harder it gets to keep a bond this real folded small enough to hide. Somewhere beneath the mountain's oldest foundations, a door sealed three hundred years ago is still waiting for the one thing it was built to test: whether trust, given freely and asked to wait long enough, can survive being needed at last.Wren is about to find out - in front of a Council that doesn't trust her, a rival cadet who might understand her better than either of them wants to admit, and a dragon who bet six years of chained silence on the hope that somebody would finally come back and mean it.The bond was never the dangerous part. Everyone was just watching the wrong thing.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Six months of Council meetings have produced sympathy, minutes, and a rider who keeps getting worse. The fix that saved Ashwing isn't holding for Elin Voss and Rimeglass, and Wren has run out of patience for an institution that keeps mistaking caution for a cure. When the answer turns out to be locked inside Chainbound medical record the Aerie has never been allowed to see, the Council says no - so Wren goes anyway, off the mountain and off the map anyone sanctioned, into Chainbound territory itself, the enemy she's never once had to look at up close. What her team finds in a Chainbound archive is worse than a cover-up: generations of clinical record proving the coercive rite's true cost has always been known and always been hidden, and a name buried decades deep that finally connects her parents' deaths to the very raid that broke Threnody, years before Wren was old enough to remember either of them. Then Lord-Sorcerer Vashtar Corim finds them first - and offers Wren exactly what she's spent this whole book begging her ownCouncil for. A real cure. Faster. Working. Hers to control this time, instead of his. All it costs is the one thing her parents refused to trade away on that same ledge, for the same reason, long before her. The archive gets out. Not everyone does. Not treasure. Not control. Just the harder, slower, honest thing - chosen again, on purpose, even after it's already cost her everything it's about to ask for next. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Three months after closing the wound that nearly destroyed her, Kira Ashvane has almost everything she once thought impossible: a fiancé, a found family stitched together from unlikely loyalties, and cadets who call her teacher without flinching at what she is. What she doesn't have is an answer to the question the Concord's archivists keep circling and refusing to say aloud - not what happened to the world three centuries ago, but who.A single translated fragment gives her a location, a name half-erased by time, and a word that unsettles even Consul Halvorsen: not rescue. Recognition. The trail leads to Cindermoor - a breach site the Concord long assumed was dormant - and straight into the eleven-year-old grief of a noblewoman who lost her brother there and has spent every day since refusing to let anyone forget it.What waits at Cindermoor isn't a monster. It's proof that Kira's own nature - Fourfold, singular, impossible - was never an accident. It was the answer to a mistake made three centuries ago, by a woman who once tried to hold four disciplines alone and paid for it in ways the world is still paying for now.To close the wound she left behind, Kira will have to do the one thing her whole life has never taught her how to do: stop being the answer everyone reaches for, and become one voice in a working built by six. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Book Two of the Dragonsworn ChroniclesA grief no Shape can mend. A sickness with no name. A mountain that finally learns to stay.A year into her bond with Threnody, Wren Calder has finally stopped bracing for the Aerie to take it back - until a rescue mission goes wrong in a way no one walks away from clean. Cadet Renn Ostler doesn't come home, and the dragon he leaves behind starts wasting from the inside out. He isn't the only one. Across the mountain, bonded dragons are dulling toward gray for reasons no healer or Council record can explain, and Wren's own untrained Will picks the worst possible chamber to finally slip its leash.The answer doesn't come from the Council. It comes from a defector with nothing left to gain by telling the truth, a healer-in-training too stubborn to stop asking, and words carved into a sealed vault three centuries ago by someone who understood, long before anyone had a name for the sickness, exactly what a bond is for. Wren is done waiting for permission to be the one who stays - and she's about to find out how far that refusal to look away can actually carry her.Not treasure. Not weapon. Trust. The fist that takes what was offered freely deserves nothing it grasps.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Three years of war have taught Wren Calder how to fight. They have not taught her how to stop.Vashtar Corim believes the Order's shortage of bonded riders can only be solved one way - not through choice, but through control. His Chainbound rite has turned the horror of coercion into a weapon, and with the mass-binding at the Cinder Throne nearing completion, he intends to finish what three generations of his family began: an army of dragons that never once said yes.Wren has one answer to give him - the same one she's spent this entire war proving, one frightened creature at a time. That consent, freely offered, is stronger than anything taken by force. But proving it to a single yearling in a quiet clearing is nothing like proving it inside a caldera full of chained dragons, an army bent on finishing what it started, and a working that has never once been built to survive being refused.With Threnody's storm-charge running dangerously thin, a reformed enemy at her side who was never given a choice of his own, and everyone she loves holding the line just long enough to buy her one more chance to reach, Wren has to walk into the heart of Corim's rite and offer it the one thing it was never designed to receive.Some wars end with a blade. This one ends with a choice.STORMBOUND is the fourth book in the Dragonsworn Chronicles.…
