With the last remnant of good dragon riders destroyed, the fate of the world lies in the hands of two young ill-fated heroes, Grey Cloak and Dyphestive, and their misfit comrades in arms: a band of rogues, wizards and warriors called Talon.

Devastation has rocked the land abroad. Kingdoms are overrun by the Black Guard invasion and the growing army of evil dragon riders ruling from the skies. By flame and force, all cities great and small are put under the dominion of the indomitable dragon Black Frost, who gains control from an unknown source of power.

With nefarious enemy forces coming from all directions, the heroes scrape and claw their way from city to city, land to land, and dungeon to dungeon in search of the ultimate weapon that will knock Black Frost from his perch once and for all. Only one problem lies between them and victory … the impossible.

A memory thief. A magical dragonfly. A deadly plot against the Queen. Will Jane become a dark fae’s victim, or has the monster met his match?

Jane Shackle is a young maid haunted by visions who is tapped to protect Queen Victoria by Fayte Guardians, a shadowy group of castle servants that claim a powerful ally from the fae realm.

But is she really hunting a killer, as she’s been told? Or is she merely a pawn in their plot?

She must use her wits and master her abilities—with help from a peculiar dragonfly—to uncover the truth, save the crown, and ultimately confront an otherworldly enemy driven to destroy them all.

DRAGONFLY MAID is the start of a thrilling dark fantasy adventure series with a captivating mystery that will keep you spellbound.
