Part one of six of the DRAGON series marks the beginning of a young dragon’s journey of sacrifice, self-discovery, and rise to power. Aeris has spent her life being a good dragon and doing as she’s told, living a quiet sheltered life. But when she becomes curious about her origins, the veil is torn and she learns that she is the center of a deadly game where there are no winners, only survivors.

Where Dragons Rule: Dissent

A month had passed since she had begun teaching Aubrey and Lanry to read, but it felt like a year. Mostly because she had experienced more in the last few weeks than she had in years. 


It felt like the only time she was home anymore was for meals and sleeping. When she wasn’t sneaking off to see Aubrey, it was to spend time with Windor. Lilith was more than willing to help cover for her, and Maggie never complained so long as Aeris said she was going to see Aubrey. It still bothered her to lie about Windor, but there was never a good time to bring up that she was dating. Just like Windor was still in the dark about Reks living with her. 


She wasn’t doing anything wrong but still felt guilty. Every day was more sneaking around, more hiding, and more dreading being caught. But even with the crippling trepidation, she didn’t want to stop. She enjoyed the time she spent with Windor and she enjoyed helping Aubrey and Lanry learn to read.
