Dragon Raider (Sea Dragons Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition

Will adapting to a changing world make one young woman lose touch with where she came from?

Far from the kingdom of Torvald, on the Western Isles near the coast, Sea Dragons rule the skies. Lila is the daughter of the Raider leader, destined to take his place one day aboard their plundering ships. Her people value only what shiny trinkets they can get their hands on, but she aspires to much more than that: Lila wants the Raiders to become Dragon Mercenaries, dragon riders who help protect merchant fleets and navies from attack. Her father Kasian is skeptical, but a young monk named Danu—with a quest of his own—comes bearing a prophecy claiming that Lila is the lost heir of Roskilde, a born Dragon Rider.

With Danu’s guidance, Lila finds the unruly dragon she’s destined to bond with—but the mismatched pair soon learn that much more than just their futures is at stake.

FREE Dragon Rider Short Story

For fans of the Dragon Riders of Pern and Eragon comes a beautiful coming of age story about the bond between a boy and his dragon...

Get it here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/o5jddyco0c

Ava Richardson writes Young Adult Fantasy books, many focusing on the deep and complex bond shared between human and dragon.

Is there anything better than the close companionship of a human and dragon? The wonderful idea of having a devoted relationship that lasts a lifetime, of being able to communicate without speech, of having someone understand you completely, and having a powerful friend you can always rely on. No one who has ever felt lonely or insignificant could fail to see the attraction of this magical bond.

Ava grew up on a steady diet of fantasy and science fiction books handed down from her two big brothers – and despite being dog-eared and missing pages, she loved escaping into the magical worlds her favorite authors created. Her most cherished were the ones about dragons; where they’d swoop, dive and soar through the skies of these enchanted lands.

She is currently working on part 3 of the Alveria Dragon Akademy world.

Overall the book was an enjoyable read. At times the plot was a little predictable, but the characters were well-developed and still managed to surprise me. Too bad I read this one the day it came out because then I have to wait longer for the next one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book which adds to the other series about dragon riders. It was well written and my interest was held throughout the book. As usual I wanted to find out what was happening but hated to get to the end because I wanted the story to continue....I have preordered the next in the series so can't wait for it to be ready. I have enjoyed all of Ava's dragon rider books and hope that they continue!!!!

I came to this book as a fan of the Eragon, Dragon School, and Dragon Blood series and was not disappointed. The author has crafted an interesting world, with dragons as full fleshed characters rather than just monstrous predators. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

From one of me favorite authors comes a trilogy with all new hero's and a very unique dragon. You get to meet Crud a great phoenix dragon. With a personality that goes with him. Plus you'll meet Lila a raider who should be queen.
