Basgiath echoed with palpable fear. Lilith Sorrengail, hardened by loss, forced you into the Riders Quadrant. The Parapet nearly ended your life, but Mira taught you to conceal your terror. On the Choosing Day, as dragons roared, Tairn, the massive black, emerged from the cliffs and chose you. The bond burned through your very soul. Then, a young, golden presence appeared: Andarna. The valley fell into a hushed, disbelieving silence. Two dragons for one rider. Tairn is bonded to Sgaeyl, who is bonded to Xaden Riorson. Your fate is now irrevocably knotted with his. Back at the academy, surrounded by judging stares, Xaden materializes in the courtyard. Tall, draped in black, with shadows dancing like living things at his feet. He watches you with a calculating, intense gaze.
