Perfect for you if...

You love sprawling fantasy with multiple POV characters and competing agendas that all collide in one climactic battle.
You want dragons treated as complex characters with their own grudges and histories, not just magic mounts.
You're after the epic scope of Wheel of Time or A Song of Ice and Fire but with a fresher take on dragon lore.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels or tight, contained stories. This is book one of a series and ends with threads deliberately left open.
You want a morally clear protagonist to root for. Cyran's journey involves morally grey choices and allies you'll question.
You're looking for light fantasy or romance-heavy plotlines. This is heavy on war strategy, dragon bonds, and political intrigue.

About this book

Through Blood and Dragons is the first book in The Forged and The Fallen series. It won the Gold Medal at Readers' Favorite 2024. Dragons are crewed by teams of riders, guided by bound mages, supported by armored knights with lances and shields, and archers operating ballistae. The Dragon Queen of Murgare rides her shadow dragon toward the outpost of Nevergrace, seeking retribution for her murdered king. At Nevergrace, Cyran Orendain encounters Eidelmere, a snarky forest dragon embittered by centuries of battle and betrayal. Their unlikely bond sets Cyran on an unexpected path as a rider and ally to the creature, wielding magic, lance, and bow. His sister Jaslin must learn about the old guard, dragon breeds, their magic, and discover a mysterious power to lead her people. Pravon the Dragon Thief steals dragons and fulfills blood contracts for a concealed employer. As war approaches, his employer's darker intentions become clear. The conflict will require strategizing with unique dragons, magic, and forging bonds with the creatures. One side will bleed and one will fall, as either the queen or the knight rises from dragon fire.
