Zephyr's Flight - Chapter 1

Zephyr's Flight - Chapter 1

A thousand years after the Chaos erased history, a rebellious village girl who sang with dragons rises to save her clan. Astrid's only dream is to become a Dragon Rider, like her ancestors who once forced peace upon the Legions and the barbarian Hordes. But the enigmatic dragons have their own motives and leave Astria without a partner. Until she meets Zephyr. And though crippled and flightless, she will not abandon him. Fearing an ancient myth of the End Times, the Council of Elders forbids their partnership and threatens her with exile. Defiance risks death in the Wild and losing everything she’s ever known. But peace is a lie—and the Hordes are closing in once more, embroiling Astid in a war between empires where only one person understands her desires: a warrior from another land. From an award-winning author comes an exhilarating new fantasy series, where sacrifice and defiance collide in a battle for survival, and love may be the most dangerous risk of all.
