About this ebook

In a world where humans are myths, one girl is destined to become a legend.

When the dragon Jaax hears whispers of a human child hidden in the province of Oescienne, he expects a hoax. But what he finds is Jahrra: a girl who shouldn't exist, living in a world that has forgotten her kind. If the prophecy is true, she isn’t just a miracle; she is the only weapon capable of toppling the Crimson King.

Raised in secret, Jahrra is more interested in outrunning her classmates and causing mischief than fulfilling ancient legends. She feels like a normal girl, but the scales and fire surrounding her are a constant reminder that she is anything but.

As the Crimson King’s shadow lengthens over the land, Jahrra’s sanctuary begins to crumble. She must decide: remain the hidden ward of her dragon guardians, or embrace a destiny that demands she stand against an empire.

One girl is the key. A world of dragons is her shield. The revolution begins in Oescienne.

Perfect for fans of the high-stakes adventure in Wings of Fire and the rich world-building of Eragon, this is a coming-of-age epic for the whole family.

Story is building slowly but also becoming more interesting. A bit shakey to think the great dragons would/could walk for hours. Especially the younger more intense one. Seems to have a bit of light heartedness in the background. Worth reading the next book.

I am a die hard Potterhead. I have been trying to find a new series for years. Couldnt find any that kept my interest. I met the author at Phoenix Fan Fusion this year and she introduced me to this series. It took me awhile to get to read it. But once I started I couldn't stop. Please download and get hooked.

About the author

Fantasy Author. Swordswoman. Chicken Mama. These are just a few of the titles Jenna Elizabeth Johnson proudly goes by. She is the author of over a dozen novels, novellas, and short stories, including the award-winning Legend of Oescienne series, the Otherworld series, and the Draghans of Firiehn novella series.

Besides writing fantasy adventures featuring domineering dragons, headstrong heroines, brooding Celtic warriors, and all the magical creatures in between, she is a competitive HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) practitioner, participating in longsword tournaments whenever she gets the chance.

During her down time, Jenna can be found exploring the open spaces of California’s Central Coast, camping in Yosemite National Park, reading books and webcomics, or hanging out with her flock of overly-affectionate lap chickens.
