Heart of Fire
A SLAVE DETERMINED TO RIDE A DRAGON. A CHILD CHOSEN TO RIDE THE OBSIDIAN GUARDIAN.
Camilla has always been told her race is inferior. She cannot use magic. If she bonds to a dragon, she helps doom the dragons to extinction. She has never believed a word of it. She has always known that she can use magic, and she suspects it is the elves who harm the dragons by keeping them to themselves. Now, she is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime: a dragon’s clutch is hatching and while she will earn the wrath of her captors if she is caught, she has the chance to see a dragon hatch and perhaps even to Recognize.
Kario’s people have feared dragons since time immemorial. When an unrealistically huge black dragon flies in while she is hunting, she is certain she will die. Instead, her life is changed when Nelexi, Obsidian Guardian of Areaer, chooses her as her final rider. Kario takes the name Flameheart, but she is soon homesick and afraid that she is insufficient to be the partner of a god.

Scars of Fire
BEFORE SHE CAN FACE THE NIGHTMARE AND SURVIVE, CAMILLA MUST FACE HER OWN FLAWS.
Camilla’s goals are simple. Get her brother safe. Rescue her Mom. Destroy the Wizard-King. Even though everyone thinks the last two are impossible, she and Radiance know they can do it. She has already used the power of the Heartfire to do the impossible: free a dragon from undead slavery to the Nightmare. But doing so has changed her, in ways visible and invisible, and some of those changes terrify her. What does it mean to be herself when she is part of the Heartfire?
So when Nelexi, a dragon god whose power comes from the Heartfire, appears in her life, all Camilla wants is to get away from her. But her desperate flight from the things she can’t face yet places her brother in danger and brings about an unexpected tragedy, forcing her to confront the ways in which she has violated her own values – or succumb to the Nightmare.
Her own guilt could destroy her.

Promise of Fire
(Prequel. You can read this one first, or whenever in the series you like.)
A HOPELESS FIGHT. A HORROR WORSE THAN DEATH. WERE-DRAGONS BORN FROM THE PROMISE OF FIRE.
The last stand of the Dragonrider-mages is over. The people they fought to protect have been slain and enslaved, and their own numbers have been culled in accident and battle. Every death has added to the power of the Wizard-King, and their doom seems inevitable.
But a glimmer of hope has fanned the gloom into a flame, and despair is fuel for the fire. All seems lost, but the human Laisly and the dragon Caldera have slain a death-bound dragon, and suddenly their way is clear. They may all be slain and enslaved, but they must journey into the heart of Eltaes, homeland of the Wizard-King, and give all they have to kill him. It is their last chance.
Is the triumph over fear victory enough?

“Slice of Life” X Epic Fantasy
DragonBirth
In a world where dragons are considered demons and Dragonriders are hunted and killed as witches . . .
Silmavalien is a devout young woman from a small mountain village. Her engaged, Noren, is teaching her the bow and her life goals are limited to marrying him – as soon as he completes his Manhood Hunt – and having a family.
But then she meets a dragon hatchling and discovers a love she could never have dreamed, but one that rips her entire world apart. The gods she has worshiped, everything she has ever been taught or believed, is a monstrous lie, and she’s not sure what to believe now. Can she dare to trust Noren with her new secret, even if he is the only person she’s ever heard voice doubts about whether the stories are true?
If she, or the hatchling Minth, are discovered, both will be burned alive. How can she survive and care for Minth in a wild hostile world – one that is even stranger than she thought?

DragonSword
Only the Gift of the Volcano, born in darkness and fire, can give them the strength they need to conquer fear and fight the mightiest of the Nightmare Legion.
Noren has just narrowly escaped burning alive. Reunited at last, he and Silmavalien flee northwards, while trying to figure out what their relationship is now, after the ways they’ve both failed. While he and Elninya recover from their recent ordeal, they are joined by Onyxalis, a mysterious obsidian dragon hatchling, who claims to be the destined Avenger of the Dragons.
The hordes of the nightmare are gathering, and the very earth is suffering. It is time for the Dragon-sword to burn again, but the only place its fire can be re-kindled or that Onyxalis can gain the power he needs as the Obsidian Guardian, is the Volcano of Ellen Island.
Even as they journey towards fire, an icy fear tightens around Silmavalien’s heart. Can the Volcano give her, too, the assurance she needs for the battle before her?
