A QUEST FOR DRAGONS
By Joab Stieglitz
Born in storm and hunger, five wyrmlings must learn to fly—or die.
High in the Fallen Scale Peaks, the last brood of dragons claws its way into a world already turning against them. Srezzig, the blue—bold, reckless, and hungry for the sky—struggles to lead his clutchmates: Ukshagg, the calculating gold; Drozkax, the black with more rage than wisdom; Hashaezkend, the fragile pearl; and young Shrarzeth, the bronze who bears their matron’s name and impossible expectations.
Under the brutal tutelage of Shyvnir the Elder, they face trials that would break gods—razor-winds, stormfire, and the cunning predators that stalk the mountains. Each challenge shapes them: from their first, shattering flight to the blood-hunt of the blink rams, to the storms that test the meaning of kinship itself.
But when the skies darken and the Undragons rise from beneath the peaks, courage and cruelty will no longer be enough. The wyrmlings must decide whether to fight for their matron’s legacy… or forge their own.
Sweeping, visceral, and told through the eyes of dragons themselves, A Quest for Dragons is a coming-of-age saga of survival, loyalty, and the price of freedom at the edge of extinction—perfect for readers of John Gwynne, Anne McCaffrey, and Naomi Novik.
