“A wild dragon never hesitates, and neither should you.”
My name’s Meleya of Misthaven, and my life is a lie.
I spent my entire childhood on the run from the Mage Hunters—or rather, one Mage Hunter in particular. They call him “The Ursadon”, after the dragon-bear that never fails to track down his prey. A few years ago, he succeeded, throwing my magi parents in prison. Their execution was set, until I swore fealty to the Canyonlands’ dragon guard to pay off their sentence.
Now, I’m a soldier, trained to fight wild dragons and defend the keep. But if anyone were to find out about my teleportation powers, that would mean execution for me and my whole family.
But when I face the choice to either reveal my powers or let my new dragon bond die, I can’t stand by. Because of me, my squad gets banished to the most dangerous post in the realm: Outcast Outpost, a mere scale’s breadth away from the deadly Dragon Mists.
Join Squad Reckless as we battle wild draconic monsters, mysterious masked magi and, for my part, just maybe some growing feelings for one of my squadmates as well. If we’re lucky, I might even have time to whip up a batch of my realm-famous honey fry bread along the way—Hey, just because a girl’s good with a sword doesn’t mean she can’t be good with a mixing spoon as well!
The authors continue to challenge themselves and their readers by introducing an all-new main character for the sequel. It’s a risky move; Asher was funny and likable and why mess with a good thing? Because we needed Meleya. I *loved* this character and am so glad we got so much time with her...
...I cannot wait to see Asher and Meleya again as the Skystone Chronicles continue. For Evgard, Unite!
