Description
Dravelle Flamecrest came to Stormnest to defend her research.
She did not come to wake the dead.
At the most powerful dragon academy in the realm, history is clean, official, and carefully controlled. Extinct wings are extinct. Forbidden bonds are treason. Dragon memory belongs to the council, and scholars who ask the wrong questions are corrected before they become dangerous.
Dravelle has spent years studying the wing lines Stormnest insists are gone.
When she arrives with forbidden evidence strapped to her back, she expects judgment. She expects confiscation. She expects the council to turn her life’s work into another locked archive.
She does not expect a dragon to scream her name through memory.
She does not expect a forbidden mark to burn across her wrist.
And she definitely does not expect Captain Gravik Firevale, the man ordered to contain her, to be marked by the same impossible bond.
Gravik is Stormnest’s weapon, disciplined, loyal, and trained to believe order keeps the sky alive. Dravelle is everything he should brilliant, reckless, inconvenient, and far too willing to open doors the academy sealed for a reason.
But beneath Stormnest, the old bones are waking.
A hidden nest waits below law.
A queen of Dragonfall remembers what the academy buried.
And the last wingbeat was never the end of a species.
It was the beginning of a rebellion.
The Last Wingbeat is Book One in The Queen of Dragonfall, an adult dark dragon romantasy trilogy with forbidden flight bonds, dragon memory, academy secrets, extinct wings, a powerful scholar heroine, a morally grey captain, political betrayal, and slow burn romantic tension with dangerous magical consequences.
