Dira’s Dragon

Was that a negotiation? It was all of a two-minute discussion!

The Story

Running away from her apprenticeship solved one problem, but it brought on a glut of others.

  • A dragon who feels obligated to keep her safe while she ventures out on her own. She wasn't a child!
  • A dragonet with no sense of self-control, and her maturing flames, scales, and flight skills making life much too exciting.
  • A warrior assigned as her nanny and tutor.

Dira thought she had the first two handled, then Zane showed up, and her plans went south while the rest of her headed north into war.

The Characters

Dira: a runaway who escaped the apprenticeship her uncle negotiated for her after her mother died. Surviving outside the city was tougher than she expected and landed her at the feet of dragons.

Brundar: a famous negotiator dragon who feels responsible for the young woman who stumbles into the early hours of the end of a winter solstice sleep. He determines it would be irresponsible of him to leave her to die in the frozen wilderness.

Zane Case: a dedicated loner bound by a bargain to Brundar. Zane must teach Dira to read, defend herself, and survive life on her own. He's not the most sympathetic instructor.

The World

The Cadore Range is home to eight kingdoms. They are each unique, having different ruling styles, and separated along the range. Some have long histories of interactions while others maintain their isolation.

Solstice dragons live in the mountains of the range. They are intelligent and maintain peace with the humans due to a long-standing agreement, known as The Bargain to the dragons and The Don't Eat Humans Clause to the human populations.

Dira Spanner has no intention of accepting anyone’s help.

After losing her mother, she left the job her uncle arranged with a printer and set out to make her own way. With winter closing in, survival is more challenging than independence.

But Dira is determined to manage on her own. She has enough stubbornness to get herself through the mountains, if the weather, hunger, and elevation don’t kill her first.
When Dira falls asleep in what she thinks is a cave, she awakens curled at the chest of a dragon. Brundar takes one look at her disheveled clothes, lack of supplies, and desperate situation and concludes she won’t survive a week.

Dira disagrees. But Brundar is too knowing to listen, and too crafty for a hungry, still waking young woman. A bargain gives her food and shelter for the winter and binds her to the young dragon he’s training. Her tutor will arrive soon.

Unfortunately, he’s a warrior with opinions of his own.

Zane Kase has no desire to teach a headstrong runaway how to survive or spend the winter serving a dragon’s whims. He has his own reasons for avoiding dragons and people, but a promise from the past leaves him little choice.

Dira isn’t impressed by her new tutor. Zane isn’t impressed by her refusal to listen. Or how difficult she is to ignore. But when dragon hunters threaten the young dragon under Brundar’s care, Dira and Zane find themselves on the same side of a fight neither expected.

The dragon hunters are only the beginning. There is a war brewing, and dragons don’t take dragon killing well.

The war may force Zane to face the past he’s spent years avoiding. Dira is already making it difficult to imagine a future without her.

Will Dira charge toward responsibility, bow raised, dragons at her side? And what will Zane choose when the future he never wanted begins to look like the one he needs?
