Dragon Bound 4

A dragon-worshipping cult severing manabonds has landed in Emberfell. Their first mistake was targeting Crimson Wing's youngest rider.

Soren Stormchaser runs Crimson Wing on a dead elder's mountain: a party made up of an arena tank counting sober days, an alchemist with an acid-spitting drake, a scholar who will bring a syllabus to a knife fight, three kids he refuses to leave behind, and twelve fiercely loyal dragons who will kill a man on command then roll over for belly rubs.

Along with three loyal women who have stood by his side since he had nothing.

Faye, the sharpshooting ranch girl who will put a river stone through a man's skull to protect her family.

Nova, the former top circuit athlete before she walked away from it and her family's fortune both for Soren and his dream.

And Elowyn, the shy and sweet Elvyn genius with a legal degree who came to Soren as a client, and stayed as a lover. No one in Crimson Wing has ever shamed her for loving anything too much.

When a fanatical cult threatens to break everything they've built, Soren takes the leader's daughter as prisoner. Ysara, a strange Ashkari woman covered in runic tattoos that can channel mana without a dragon bond. She could be a powerful ally. She might even hold the key to freeing Talia Stormchaser from her indenture. But first they'll have to break apart everything Ysara's ever been falsely taught about dragons, one piece at a time.

Dragon Bound is a progression fantasy that's warm around the fire and vicious past the fence line. Found family, three love interests who each carry their own weight, hatchlings underfoot, and a conversion earned an inch at a time.
