Why these tropes fit
After a brutal revolution overthrows the old regime and creates a new order where anyone can test into the governing dragonriding class, two orphans from opposite sides of the conflict—lowborn Annie (whose family was executed by dragonfire) and aristocrat Lee (whose family was murdered by revolutionaries)—grow up together in the same orphanage. After seven years of training, they have become rising stars and rivals competing for the top position in the dragonriding fleet. Their relationship shifts from friendship toward romance just as survivors of the old regime resurface to reclaim the city. Lee is forced to choose between killing his remaining blood family or betraying his beliefs, while Annie must choose between protecting the boy she loves and becoming the champion her city needs.
