Every night for a month you've charted the stars from the top of the castle's tallest tower, alone with your lamp. Every night for a month, something enormous has passed over it. Tonight it lands. He is the Captain of the Wing, the last dragon rider in the kingdom, and at first light he flies to a border where things don't sleep. He has one night, a dragon called Seren who likes the smell of ink, and a saddle with room for two. Choose where you sit, how high you fly over the sleeping kingdom, whether you hold on or open your arms when Seren falls out of the sky, and what you tell him on a mountain ledge as the east goes grey. A sweeping, protective, quietly lonely fantasy love story, written for headphones and open windows. Four decisions, four endings (one of them a Gold bonus).

Easy... she won't hurt you. This is Seren. I'm the Captain of the Wing. The last one. I fly to the border at first light. So tonight... come flying with me. There's a saddle for two. In front of me... or behind?

Your turn: “Seren lowers her great shoulder for you.”
