Summary
I, Aysel Bardin, failed Threshing.
Entering the Rider's Quadrant wasn't about glory—it was about holding onto the only scrap of family I had left. Obviously, when both of your parents are dead and your sister is on the front lines, the logical path is eighteen inches of stone and a two-hundred foot drop to certain death. I thrived. But three months, a hundred and forty-four dragons, and one godsforsaken valley later, I'm reminded of how this world actually works.
There's no choice but to do it all again. Politics. Death. Dragons. This time beside the children of the rebellion—marked and dangerous. At least they can't be deadly if they're on my squad. Codex is supposed to be clear about things like that.
Except, this is Xaden Riorson we're talking about. And the longer I'm near him, the more that inviolable rule feels like a cruel joke. Distance blurs into loyalty. Loyalty into want. Survival into something reckless. Eventually, the math just stops working.
Codex says you can't kill your squadmate. Codex never took “falling for Xaden Riorson will ruin everything—including you” into account.
