Riders of Earth and Sky trilogy Series

At the risk of losing the bond with her beloved horse, a princess must save her people—and the man she loves—from an ancient evil threatening to consume her home.

Zara had one shot to defeat her enemy before it regained its full power. She missed. Now the ancient Devourer is no longer content to lurk in the shadows, relentlessly hunting magic and warping the wind that she once trusted. Meanwhile, Zara is haunted by visions of the man she loves, imprisoned and tortured beyond her reach. Every instinct urges her to fly back and save him—but doing so may doom them both.

Determined to save Talon and stop the Devourer before it targets her people, Zara searches for answers. But the answers involve secrets her mother has kept hidden for years. With only her beloved bonded horse and her newly bonded eagle by her side, Zara seeks out the one alliance powerful enough to stand against what’s coming . . . even as trust in her family and her magic frays.

Unwilling to let Zara risk herself for him, Talon escapes captivity into an empire already falling to the Devourer’s corruption. Hunted by undead Eagle Riders, he races to find Zara, desperate to help secure the alliance that could save both their peoples.

But to stop this monstrous being, Zara will be forced to sacrifice more than she can imagine—and loving Talon may be her most dangerous choice of all.

Darkness lurks in the shadows as a betrothed princess wrestles with a dangerous new magic that threatens her bond with her beloved horse—and a forbidden love for the enemy sworn to protect her.

Zara has never felt worthy of her title as First Daughter. Though next in line to lead her people, she hasn’t inherited what matters most—her mother’s sacred earth magic. While her people are tied to the land and their soul-bound horses, Zara has always felt a pull toward the wind.

As war rages against the enemy empire’s deadly Eagle Riders, her people edge closer to defeat. When a rider attacks Zara herself, she unleashes a wind magic strong enough to tear giant eagles from the sky. This power could turn the tide of the war—but at a terrible price: the slow unraveling of her psychic bond with her horse.

So when a marriage treaty is offered in exchange for peace, Zara agrees, sacrificing herself to protect her people. But the emperor’s palace is more treacherous than any battlefield. Hidden behind its gilded walls is a monstrous being long buried—and her power-hungry betrothed is determined to set it free.

Sworn to protect the future empress, Commander Talon soon realizes Zara is more than a political pawn—she’s the key to stopping the emperor’s dark ambitions. As their forbidden desire grows, they must face an ancient evil stirring beneath the throne. Even if it costs them everything.
