Dragons Rising
4 primary works Complete
Book 1
Dragons. Elves. And the last surviving human fated to save them from the sea.
A flood is coming. The Sea Queen has a mad plan to drown the world.
Only the magic of the Earth Queen can stop her.
Vahly, the last human, was born to fill that role and wield the magic necessary to fight the rising oceans and save the dragons.
But Vahly is the world’s biggest disappointment. So far, she possesses no magic whatsoever.
When she finds an ancient scroll that mentions a human power ritual conducted deep in the homeland of the elves, she gathers her dragon allies and journeys to see the king of that forest-dwelling race.
Welcomed into a place more lovely than any dream, will Vahly find the truth about her people’s past and wake her magic or will a twisted and powerful elven lord destroy her chance at saving the world?
Book 2
Vahly is changed. Power sizzles beneath her skin.
The earth's heartbeat drums inside her, driving her to the distant western mountains and the sunken ruins of the last Earth Queen's city.
But she has no idea why.
If she doesn't untangle and master her newfound earth magic before a band of nihilistic, rogue dragons find her, the world will end in a crashing wave, all land life undone by the Sea Queen.
If you love elves, dragons, gryphons, magic, mages, wizards, and epic fantasy with a touch of slow burn romance, you'll love the Dragons Rising series.
Book 3
Underwater. Trapped. Her chances are slipping away...
Tugging at her heart, Vahly’s magic begs her to discover her birthplace in the flooded Lost Valley. What she is meant to do there, she has no idea. Her power sings this one truth—to evolve into the Sea Queen's equal in strength, Vahly must set foot in the home where her mother brought her life.
But while her magic urges her to the Lost Valley, the Sea Queen's high general holds Vahly in a dungeon of spelled salt water. Her earth power cannot fight here. She can hardly manage a single magical breath. But she must survive. If she falls, everyone she loves will die…
As the Sea Queen’s forces march on her home and the key to their survival may lie far away, Vahly must draw upon the wit and daring shaped during her smuggling years to outmaneuver this battle-hardened general. But even if she manages that, can she find her forgotten home and unravel its mystery before the Sea Queen buries all she loves beneath the waves?
Find out in the third volume of the Dragons Rising series by USA Today bestselling author Alisha Klapheke, full of adventure, mystery, and magic sure to please readers of Holly Black and Sarah J. Maas.
Book 4
The water is rising. Time is running out.
In the search of the Sacred Oak where Vahly’s magic will rise in full, she and her cohorts—dragons, elves, and of course, her gryphon familiar—must fly over an expanse of sea that was once the Red Meadow.
They cannot stop. There is no refuge in the spelled saltwater and the sea folk lurk just below its foam-tipped waves.
Vahly must hurry.
Once the Sea Queen renews her magic at the Blackwater well in Tidehame, she will strike again and end the land and its creatures for good. There will be no second chances.
But does the Sacred Oak still live or is does it lay in ruin beneath the flood? Every moment Vahly seeks the Oak is a moment she isn’t training with what magic she already possesses, but without her full power, she’ll stand no chance against the Queen of the rising seas.
