Kingdom of Shadows and Wings
A world of magic, desire, and intrigue awaits at Flighthaven, where a young woman defies the odds to find her true calling.
Nineteen-year-old Lark Axton has lived her entire life sequestered behind the castle's walls, overshadowed by her overprotective mother. Now, the king has ordered Lark to assume her missing sister’s role as a warrior in training at Aclaris’s flight academy, where the kingdom's sons and daughters train to battle their winged enemies and control dragons.
There’s just one problem. Lark is terrified of flying.
Forced to the deadly training grounds of Flighthaven, Lark must survive the danger that stalks the academy if she wants to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance and survive the upcoming treacherous trial. Unfortunately, her sinfully irresistible, arrogant and downright irritating flight instructor is determined to make her life hell.
But enemies lurk within the academy, and no one is who they seem, including Lark herself. As the trial begins, the same explosive secrets that tore Lark's sister away from Flighthaven now threaten Lark.
With her life hanging in the balance, Lark's ability to unlock the secret magic within her will either save...or kill her.
Kingdom of Shadows and Wings weaves the thrill of dragons, elemental magic, and forbidden romance into an exhilarating fantasy adventure that’s perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Zodiac Academy.

Nina Frost
Before dragons and magic filled the pages of her novels, Nina Frost was the kind of reader who rewrote endings in her head—particularly when the story didn’t sit right. Born and raised in California, she grew up under wide skies and surrounded by books that sparked her curiosity about distant realms, quiet rebellions, and the slow-burn ache of forbidden love. That instinct—to reshape stories and push her characters toward the truth they fear most—became the foundation of her writing.
Dragons of Tirene
In the fractured realm of Tirene, dragons are not the stuff of legends—they are living weapons, bonded to riders chosen by fate and forged through fire. But the bond isn’t always a blessing, and power, in this world, comes at a price.
The Dragons of Tirene series immerses readers in a world where elemental magic and ancient bloodlines collide within the walls of Flighthaven Academy—a brutal institution where survival often depends on secrets kept and alliances betrayed. At its heart is Lark Axton, a reluctant student whose sister vanished into the academy’s shadows, and whose own presence there threatens to unravel truths buried deep within the kingdom’s foundations. Her journey is one of quiet defiance, emotional vulnerability, and a slow-burn entanglement with a rival who may be as dangerous as he is magnetic.
Dragons of Tirene consists of five books — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
