Frostwing: Dragonbond (Book One of the Frostwing Quadrilogy)

Taming dragons is a death wish—but that won’t stop her.

Ava Frostborn is the daughter of a wealthy coal-family, tasked with running the fires which keep their isolated cities alive. She knows she’ll soon follow in her family’s footsteps, even though she hates the way her father exploits the slums.
