The Blood-Born Dragon

In the dry, lawless kingdom of Rescalin, traveling sellsword Des Mildue prefers to keep others at a distance. When a sword fight goes wrong, she becomes tied by a blood bond to the first dragon hatched in centuries, a haughty creature called Esquidamelion whose voice now shares her mind. As numerous parties pursue them, including Des's former lover Liv, Des seeks to understand why so many are willing to kill to reach the dragon, uncovering a threat to Rescalin's future. First in a fantasy adventure trilogy with a sapphic romance.
