Purchase options and add-ons
In a world where dragons are considered demons and Dragonriders are hunted and killed as witches . . .
Silmavalien is a devout young woman from a small mountain village. Her engaged, Noren, is teaching her the bow and her life goals are limited to marrying him - as soon as he completes his Manhood Hunt - and having a family.
But then she meets a dragon hatchling and discovers a love she could never have dreamed, but one that rips her entire world apart. The gods she has worshiped, everything she has ever been taught or believed, is a monstrous lie, and she's not sure what to believe now. Can she dare to trust Noren with her new secret, even if he is the only person she's ever heard voice doubts about whether the stories are true?
If she, or the hatchling Minth, are discovered, both will be burned alive. How can she survive and care for Minth in a wild hostile world - one that is even stranger than she thought?
A great slice-of-life/cozy epic fantasy for lovers of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, Mercedes Lackey's The Last Herald-Mage, or George MacDonald. Contains 15 illustrations by the author.

About the Author
Raina Nightingale has been writing fantasy since she could write stories with the words she could read (the same time that she started devouring books, too). Now she writes "slice of life" and epic dawndark fantasy, for fiction lovers interested in rich world-building, characters who feel like real people, and spiritual experiences. Raina thinks giant balls floating in space can have the same magic that fairytales teach us to look for in oak trees and stars. However, she has a lot of universes and while not all of them have giant balls floating in space, most of them have dragons of one sort or another!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI appreciate the author's honesty, at least. This was written by a 13 year old. She states as such in the forward. The dozen-page info dump and over-wrought, under-edited prose are very indicative of a very young writer and hey, I get it, everyone starts somewhere. But this book (and probably the whole series) really belongs up, for free, on her personal website somewhere. This is not a professional work. I wish the author all the best, but I DNF the first chapter.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseFor me this book captures the wonderful adventure of a girl who follows her heart at all cost even at the expense possibly loosing those dearest to her who want her to be something that she is not. It speaks of the necessary right of passage that we all must go through if we want to live true to ourselves & those we have been blessed to care for. How to love through the uncertainly of knowing the full picture is apparent & this author does not white wash her journey. Which is why I think this is a great book for young readers. These kind of books that can capture the complexities of a journey toward the Truth are so much more powerful than any direct instruction. And dragons!!! Who doesn’t love an adventure with mysterious dragons!
