What use is a dragon rider who can't fly?
That’s the brutal reality Aeden Harrington faces after bonding with a dragon that should never have hatched — a consecrated egg, hidden, marked as dead and untouchable. Worse still, he formed the forbidden bond before Aviara Academy’s official ceremony, shattering ancient tradition and painting a target on his back before he even sets foot in the sky.
Starting as the Academy’s newest Initiate was supposed to be a chance to rise above his past. To master the Weave. To prove himself. But Nyra, the dragon fate chose for him, bears wings too broken to ever fly, a flaw that stains Aeden’s reputation and makes him a target among students and masters alike.
As he battles distrust and isolation, Aeden uncovers darker secrets hidden within Aviara’s hallowed halls — whispers of his parents’ deaths and the cover-up that followed. And when two unknown riders arrive, wielding authority and power that even the Academy fears, surviving the deadly trials ahead becomes more than a matter of honor.
It becomes a fight for his life — and for the truth.
In a world where flight means power, what chance does a grounded rider have against enemies who rule the skies?
"Perfect for fans of Eragon, Ascendant, and Of Blood and Fire, Wing Weaver delivers a fast-paced, dragon-rider academy fantasy where survival depends on more than just flight."

Review of advance copy received from Author
I had the chance to read this as part of the second wave of ARC readers, and it ended up being one of the more unique entries I’ve experienced from A.P. Beswick so far.
This is a completely new world—my third time stepping into one of Beswick’s settings—and it feels different from his previous works, but in a way that works. The story takes its time at the beginning, building things at a slower pace, but it gradually picks up as the narrative unfolds. By the end, the world itself feels heavier, while the characters’ journey begins to move in a more hopeful direction, which creates a really interesting contrast.
This is also the first of his books I’ve read that centers around dragons, and I liked that they weren’t just there for spectacle. They carry both narrative and thematic weight, especially with how the central character is written. It felt like a strong balance between character-driven and plot-driven storytelling, with both sides supporting each other well.
What resonated with me most, though, wasn’t just the presence of a disability in the story, but how it was understood—both by the character and by the people closest to them. The story makes it clear that the condition itself isn’t what defines the struggle. It’s the way others see it, especially when that perception comes from someone who matters.
There’s a moment where that tension comes to the surface, and it highlights something deeper: that accepting yourself is one step, but what really lingers is how even one person can change how you feel. To be seen and supported can make a world of difference.
At the same time, the story doesn’t ignore that this kind of understanding has to start from within—how you view yourself, and the willingness to speak up when it hurts the most. Only then can that understanding truly take hold.
Although A.P. Beswick drew inspiration from something that directly impacted him, the message here reaches far beyond that. It’s something that can resonate with anyone who has ever felt different.
Overall, this felt like a meaningful and thoughtful addition, and I’m interested to see where this story goes next.

Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
-New Epic Fantasy series
-Inner strength
-A flightless dragon
-Dragon Rider Academy
-Ruthless world
-Academy Secrets
-Found family
I have loved getting to know Aeden and Nyra. Nyra is the most precious dragon ever, she is so cute and childlike but is a fearsome protector for Aeden. I have enjoyed A.P Beswick's world building into the Academy, history and lore of the dragons. There is a great cast of side characters, some you'll love like my personal faves are Cassian and Rowan. And some you will loathe like a certain student in the Offence class.
You get to know the professors in drips and drabs and some have secrets of their own which I am intrigued to learn more about. The Weave is so intricate and I enjoyed the details of all the dragons, they are all so unique! If you love reading about a young man and dragon who are a little bit imperfect and overcome their own struggles to find their inner strength, trusting friends and proving to the world that they belong here, you will love this story! 🐲

I was given the opportunity to be an ARC reader for this book. AP Beswick has mentioned that this was a passion project of his, with the dragon who cannot fly, and you can tell. The bond between the main character and his dragon is beautifully written, with interesting elements that make their bond so special. All the characters are so detailed and well thought out and written (something I find across the Levanthria series also), making you really invested and root for, or hate, the characters. This is a stunning new world already leaving me wanting more, and I honestly cannot wait for the next entry into this story. Thank you for the opportunity.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of this book. I genuinely wished time would stand stil so that i could do nothing but read this awesome book. From the first page you hit the ground running and immediately get the sensation that this is going to be a fast paced fantastic journey full of adversity, overcoming the odds that are stacked against the main character. Along with friendship and self discovery. The way the end was revealed was fantastic totally didn't see it coming. I definitely struggled to put it down.

Wing Weaver is an excellently written story. From the very beginning it grabs your attention as it tells the story of a boy who joins a dragon rider academy in search of answers and the adventure becomes so much more, making you not want to put it down. I cannot wait for the next book.. If you like fantasy books, dragons, and a plot that doesn’t take pages off with useless filler, check it out, you will not be disappointed.

This is a fantastic read, the beginning of a new and complex world that Adam Beswick is masterfully building page by page. Aviara Academy is a cruel place, but also a place that builds people and Aer-Kin alike into powerful soldiers.
There's action, there's mystery, and there's a lot of heart in this book. It's also refreshing to have more adult characters in this magical world and school setup so I can relate to them better :)

I absolutely devoured this book and loved every moment of it! It’s a beautifully written story about love, acceptance, and discovering your own strength. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a heartfelt and uplifting read.
As someone with disabilities myself, the story resonated with me on a deeply personal level. It captures so well the reality that even when life presents extra challenges, you can still achieve anything you set your mind to.

I bought a preorder of the ebook, which I devoured in just over 24hrs, I found myself drawn into the story and its characters quickly, it didn’t take long to feel genuinely invested in what was unfolding.
I don’t want to drop any spoilers before the official publication date so will pop back later and add in my overall thoughts on the storyline
