Books like Onyx & ivory by Mindee Arnett
Kate Brighton earned the nickname "Traitor" after her father’s attempted assassination of the high king. Living on society’s edge as a member of the Relay, the empire’s elite courier service, she must rely on her exceptional riding and archery skills to stay alive. When darkness comes, the nightdrakes—deadly, flightless dragons—roam the land. Kate’s secret advantage is her wilder magic, which lets her influence animal minds, but this power is outlawed and punishable by death or exile. Her story follows her struggle to conceal her gifts while navigating danger and belonging in a hostile world.
