Dragons exist. They’re ferocious, powerful, and they don’t want to be your friend.

Tori definitely didn’t sign up to save the country.

Too bad she doesn’t have much of a choice.

Before dragons were killed off in the Middle Ages, they rendered a select group of eggs dormant so their offspring would survive. Only a handful of people know about this, let alone believe it―these “Slayers” are descended from the original knights and are now a diverse group of teens that includes Tori, a socialite senator’s daughter.

She so had other things to do, but the dragon eggs have fallen into the wrong hands; a dragon lord with ambitions to someday take over the country. The Slayers must work together to find the eggs and stop them from hatching.

And that involves much more danger than they expect.

As a novice Mage, Jack Wartnose’s life was already difficult enough: low pay, long hours, and an arcane duty to always keep his word. But when a chance encounter with his long-lost childhood sweetheart – and the consequences of his youthful wayward actions – leaves him duty-bound to fulfill a promise long since forgotten, he’s left with no choice but to take his fledgling family with him on his dangerous quest for the Tome of Time: a legendary artifact rumored to have started the last world-ending cataclysm.

As if his luck wasn’t bad enough, there are also revenant assassins hunting him down. If his family hopes to stay together this time, they’ll need more than just quick wits and spells to survive bloodthirsty monsters, vengeful revenants, mutinous party members, the needs of his wife versus his empty coin purse, and a son unfortunately following in his wayward footsteps.

2334

The climate-driven Collapse is two centuries gone. Its survivors evolved The Union, a culture that has prospered in the harsh new world, in part by squashing stupidities that might trigger a global relapse. Of course, that’s a hefty challenge. People can be awfully stupid.

As a rookie cop in the Union’s national police, Lani Maxwell would normally be busy error-squashing. But she’s on probation, stuck behind a desk, counting fly specks. With patience, Lani might wait out this tedious torture and get back on track.

Alas, patience is not her style.

So, she noses into a place she shouldn’t—and into a deep and deadly conspiracy. The intrigue is stupid, she thinks. But the danger is real. It will make her life very complicated.

Or, if she’s not careful, very short.
