— From the War Mode Office. This week, when defiance meets power—one woman turns knowledge into a weapon, and another faces whispers that could break the Riders forever.
This week brings us two tales of defiance and dangerous power. In Empowered, a sharp-tongued scholar shows just how deadly knowledge can be when wielded against authority. And in Ashborn, Chapter 6, Dareya’s triumph in the skies sparks whispers of disbandment, uneasy rumors of Ashborn bonds, and the heavy silence of an Order on the brink.

This week’s story is brief, but it lingers like a spark in the dark. In the quiet halls of a candlelit priory, a clash of wills unfolds—not with swords, but with words.
When authority underestimates her, Marissa reveals the true depth of her gift. Empowered is a sharp reminder that knowledge, once wielded, can cut deeper than steel.
The fifth chapter of Ashborn will unlock for all readers Thursday Morning, August 28 at 7 am EST in The Shadow Lineage.

The Aerie should have been full of laughter and boasts, but instead it sat hushed, broken by whispers of disbandment and darker rumors still.
Visitors with unfamiliar uniforms watched from the head table, and every Rider felt the weight of their gaze.
When talk turned to the Ashborn legends, Dareya couldn’t ignore the cold knot in her stomach. If they were real, change was coming—and not even dragons could stop it.
Stay sharp. Stay strange. Be Wise. —The War Mode Office
