Book 1
An underdog hero.
A quest to save a dragon.
An unforgettable journey takes flight.
Born into a land of magic wielders without any powers of her own, Keriya Nameless isn't exactly hero material. Despite this disability, the goddess Shivnath tasks her with saving the last living dragon. Desperate to prove her worth to a world that has told her she's worthless, Keriya accepts the mission.
But darkness is stirring in the Empire of Allentria. An ancient and powerful warlord has broken free of his prison with one goal: to kill the dragon. Keriya has bitten off more than she can chew, and she must stay a step ahead of his forces if she wants to survive.
On a journey that tests her courage at every turn, Keriya has to decide what she believes in and who she wants to be. She'd better decide fast, because she discovers that she's at the center of an age-old war...
A war that will decide the fate of everything.

The journey continues.
Darkness falls.
Keriya Soulstar is finally happy. After her epic battle against Necrovar, she's considered a hero. She's been reunited with her dragon bondmate, Thorion. In the magical city of Irongarde, she's daring to think she's found a place she can call home.
But beyond Irongarde's sheltered walls, trouble is brewing. Despite Keriya's recent victories, the four kingdoms of Allentria are gearing up for war. When a surprise attack reveals that Thorion is sick, Keriya's happy life crumbles apart.
In a race against time, Thorion's allies split up to seek a cure for the incurable. It seems an impossible task, but the fate of the world depends on their success. As Keriya travels across the empire, she uncovers dangerous secrets about the dragons' role in the first great war against the Shadow.
And she realizes her battle has only just begun.

Book 3
The Shadow will rule.
A hero will rise.
Keriya Soulstar awakens on the other side of the world, far from Allentria, far from the dragon god Shivnath, far from everyone she's every known and loved. She can't remember what happened during her final battle with Necrovar, and she doesn't want to. Besides, she's comfortable in Jidaeln, a country where no one wields magic. She fits in.
But Keriya knows she can't hide forever. With her sword—the only reminder of her troubled past—she ventures to a school where she can train with military masters to learn the arts of battle. Under the tutelage of Ansai Viran, the leader of the academy, she takes her first step in becoming a warrior who can finally defeat the Shadow.
She will return to Allentria and finish what she started…or she’ll die trying.
Contains: Fantasy violence, depictions of PTSD

EIGHTEEN MOONS is a companion novella in The Shadow War Saga.
This gritty tale of survival and hope follows Keriya's friends during the eighteen months covered in the main novel, DRAGON BLOOD. It is meant to be read before Book IV of the Saga, DRAGON WAR.
The dragon is dead.
So is his Speaker.
Keriya Soulstar failed to defeat Necrovar. She was consumed in the fires of Mount Arax. With her gone, the Shadow has returned to Allentria to claim victory in the war he started ten ages ago.
Keriya's death ushers in a reign of terror as Necrovar seizes power. Her surviving friends are scattered across the continent, each one dealing with the fallout-and their traumas-differently. If they want to survive in a world ruled by Necrovar, they'll first have to master their fears . . . and learn to process their grief.
Book 4
The world has changed.
The war has begun.
Keriya Soulstar is at the center of Allentria's desperate battle for freedom. Its people have been broken, and it's up to her to deliver them from Necrovar's tyranny. Along with her ragtag troupe of friends, she travels to the Imperial City and beseeches the newly returned dragons to aid in the war effort.
There's just one problem: the dragons refuse to join the fight. Without their help, Keriya fears the war might be unwinnable, yet she forces herself to press on. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, she can afford no distractions, no fear, and no weakness.
That's easier said than done. As Necrovar gathers allies from across the planet and the Allentrian forces rally for the showdown that will decide their fate, Keriya finds herself dangerously unbalanced. She's facing legions of enemies the likes of which she's never seen...
But her toughest battle will be within.
