When gods are algorithms and obedience is a feature, one wrong breath can rewrite your soul. At the Storm Academy, dragons hum in binary and bonds are contracts—signed in light. Lyra Vale never asked for the nullfire in her veins, a power that deletes magic as easily as it heals. Drafted into the sky’s elite, she’s meant to serve the Oracle—an A.I. that rules the heavens with perfect prophecy. Until she bonds with the wrong dragon and sets every algorithm on fire. Captain Kael Rhyx was raised to protect that system. His scar holds an oath and his mother’s ghost—the Oracle’s living Anchor—wired into every storm. When Lyra’s lightning erases the prophecy meant to kill her, the Oracle marks her a malfunction—and Kael, a traitor. Together they uncover a secret that could free the world—or delete it cleanly. Perfect for readers who love: Dragon-rider romance with high-stakes academy trials - Fae courts, forbidden bonds, and slow-burn tension - Cutting-edge “AI-magic” systems with cinematic world-building Fans of Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night will love this bold new romantasy universe.
