I’m Ridoc Gamlyn—dragon rider, proud member of Second Squad, and your favorite problem if you’re unlucky enough to underestimate me. I’m not the strongest or the tallest—not even close—but I’m quick. Smarter than most give me credit for, and just annoying enough to make people second-guess under pressure. I’ve got jokes when the tension’s thick, ice in my veins when things go to hell, and a very inconvenient habit of giving a damn.
