Walls of Dust

Now she is caught between a king who needs her assistance, a Treliite prince whose motives she cannot read, and a conspiracy old enough to have written the gods into it. The continent is moving. She has to decide what side of that movement she is willing to stand on.

The Gilded Cage
Epic FantasySaiana Dragor was raised to be the next keeper of a centuries-old covenant between her bloodline and the dragons of Valeryn. She was not raised to question whether the covenant still serves the people it was meant to protect. Crossing the border changes that. What she finds on the other side of Valeryn's walls will cost her the future she was promised — and possibly the one she would have chosen instead.
