Wild Flame

A princess with a deadly secret… In a realm where riders and their dragons dominate the skies, Leida Ivar is the Forgotten Princess of Halmar, forever living in the shadow of her twin sister and bearing the weight of her family's indifference. She may not be a dragon rider, but Leida has a deadly secret of her own—one that could change everything if discovered. When tragedy strikes the neighboring kingdom of Zehvi with the death of its king, Leida is thrust into an unexpected role: representing Halmar at the month-long Funeral Rites. This vibrant celebration of life, culminating in the coronation of a new monarch, is nothing like she has ever experienced. Despite the harsh desert landscape, Leida soon finds herself enchanted by the opulent court and, most unexpectedly, by its charming future king—Malik Kathar—a fierce dragon rider whose smoldering gaze and intoxicating presence ignites a fire within her that she can't ignore. But as Leida grows closer to the enigmatic prince, she discovers a web of danger lurking beneath the surface of the festivities. Mysterious attacks threaten the kingdom, and as Leida unravels the dark secrets behind them, she must decide where her loyalties truly lie. Welcome back to the exciting world of dragon riders!
