Dragon Sworn | The Storm Does Not Kneel It Answers by K. Bengel at Inkitt

Summary

Alyenna did not hesitate. She obeyed. She held the hilt. She did not let go. It was not enough. Not enough to stop Scelestra from taking him. From taking what was never hers. For a storm cannot be owned. A hurricane cannot be bowed. A blizzard can only be endured. He was stolen from her arms. Her Storm General Aethorien. Her soul bonded. Her Nar. She tore through a dragon to save him. He fought his own mind and a blood curse to protect her from an impossible fall. It was not enough. Not because she never got to say those three words. Not because the magic around her has gone hollow. Not because she feels everything being done to him. Because she has to do everything he taught her. To hunt him. To survive him. To destroy him. But that is Scelestra’s game, not hers. The General Aethorien will fight with spite and wit. He will fall. The dragon and the woman will fight for him. They will claw their way through stone, through ice, and through hell itself to bring him back. But what Aly does not realize is that she was never alone. She is not the only one who loves him. All of Tendaara will fight with her to bring him back. Because despite Nar believing he is insignificant, there is a world of people, past and present, willing to do anything to get him back. To repay him for every sacrifice he never believed mattered. For the storm does not bow. And neither does his dragon.

Dragon Sworn |Book 2 of the Tendaaren chronicles

Dragon Born did not end quietly.

It ended with teeth.

She did not let go until she fell.

It ended with him fighting.

He tried to save her, to save them.

But the witch took him anyway.

But this time, the story did not end.

It changed.

He built her to be something that could destroy Scelestra.

But when he fell for her...he trained her to hunt him.

To fight him.How to destroy him.

Scelestra cannot control him fully.

Because she could not trick him into believing.

Aly will hunt.

Aagi will protect.

Celeste will fight.

Baellnar will fall.

For one hundred and fifty years, Scelestra,

the ’agthe witchthe tyrant

has ruled in shadow.

But now that she has her prize,

she will take everything.

But remember:

Nothing in Tendaara is wasted.

Not a breath.Not a line.Not a choice.

But also,

no one is wasted.

That is a dragon principle.

Will Aly be able to get to him in time? Before he loses the battle with his own mind?

⚠️ Content & Trigger Warnings – The Tendaaren Chronicles

The world of Tendaara is one of beauty, magic, and myth.

It is also a world of darkness, consequence, and survival.

This story explores both.

Please take care while reading and prioritize your well-being.

This narrative includes:• Violence and battle scenes• Death, grief, and loss• Emotional and psychological trauma• Abuse, including manipulation and power imbalance• References to sexual experience (on and off page)• Coercion and lack of consent tied to the curse• Self-destructive behaviors• Moral ambiguity and ethically complex choices• Betrayal and fractured relationships• Dark fantasy elements, including curses and loss of autonomy

While not all elements appear in every chapter, they exist within the broader arc.

Reader discretion is advised.

Nothing in Tendaara is without consequence.

Not love. Not power. Not survival.

And certainly not a storm general fueled by love and spite.

Welcome to The Tendaaren Chronicles. This story has lived many lives... and it isn’t finished yet.
