Three cadets. One woman. And an academy that kills for its secrets.

Skyborne Academy doesn’t believe in mercy. It believes in hierarchy.

Talent is ranked. Bloodlines are currency. Flight is a privilege reserved for those born above the clouds. And anyone who threatens that balance is quietly pushed over the edge and erased.

They call it tradition. I call it murder with better PR.

My name is Lyra Caldris.

I’m ground-born. Engine-bred. Raised on grease, gravity, and the knowledge that the sky was never meant for people like me.

Then the Council burned my life to ash. They kidnapped my uncle, destroyed my aircraft, and rewrote my future in a single morning.

Skyborne’s answer? Enlist me by force. No consent. No escape.

Now I’m trapped inside their floating fortress, keeping their deadliest machines and their most talented cadets alive:

Auren Arclight: Cold perfection. Command wrapped in discipline. The kind of man who’s never been told no, and doesn’t like that I’m immune to him.

Jax Calder: Smiles like sin. Flies like he’s daring death to catch him. Touches my nerves like he’s already decided I’m his favorite mistake.

Finn Kade: Silent. Watchful. Unsettling. Looks at me like he sees the wreckage before the impact, but likes me anyway.

Individually? Spectacularly talented.

Together? Recklessly unwise.

And the closer I get to their bodies, their secrets, and the heat crackling between us, the more Skyborne starts to unravel. Systems fail. Records disappear. People vanish.

Every repair I make feels less like maintenance and more like covering up a crime.

Because Skyborne isn’t just training pilots. It’s hiding something ancient. Something hungry. Something that reacts when I touch the men I was never meant to claim.

They wanted obedience. They got defiance.

And I’m done pretending I don’t want it all.
