Dragonmarked. A Dark Dragon Rider Fantasy Romance with Forbidden Magic, Academy Secrets, and a Morally Grey Hero (en Inglés) - Ariana Valewood

A forbidden mark. An ancient dragon. A commander who should be her enemy.

Elara Veyne has spent her life in the shadows of Ashvale Academy, tending dragons she is forbidden to ride.

Only noble blood may enter the choosing arena. Only crown-approved riders may command the skies. A stable girl with no house, no title, and no known parentage should never draw the attention of the oldest dragon beneath the mountain.

But when Nythra, the feared black-gold dragon chained under Ashvale, bows to Elara, the academy's oldest secret wakes with her.

A scale mark burns beneath Elara's skin. Forgotten memories claw their way back. Every dragon in Ashvale begins to answer a truth the crown tried to erase.

And Commander Kael Draven, the scarred flight commander ordered to contain her, may be the only person who knows why she was hidden.

He is dangerous, controlled, and bound to the academy that ruined him. She is the forbidden rider everyone wants to chain. Their connection should be impossible. Their trust could be treason. Their bond might be the key to a buried dragon legacy powerful enough to shatter Ashvale from beneath.

Because Elara was not chosen by mistake.

She was hidden for a reason.

And the dragon who remembered her is done waiting.

Dragonmarked is Book One in The Girl the Dragon Hid, a dark dragon romantasy series filled with forbidden magic, academy secrets, powerful heroines, morally grey protectors, ancient dragon bonds, and slow-burn romantic tension.
