Dragon Bone Ridge

How’s a girl going to dream about her future when a dragon swears he has claims on her waking present?

The Story

The Kankade Mercantile a popular family-run business. Maribelle is the bookkeeper, eldest daughter, and all-around entertainment for the summer-vacationing Lady Cadris.

The mix of activities makes for a busy life, which takes on an all-new challenge when a dragon stuck in his solstice stone sleep demands her help to find the parts hacked off his body over the last fifty years.

Finding slices of time to search for missing items is not the problem. It's the dragon tromping through her dreams and private daydreams that grows daily more annoying and mystifying.

The Characters

Maribelle Kankade: as a clerk and bookkeeper in her parents' mercantile, she works hard to fulfill her goals and the expectations of others, which often leaves her not fulfilling her own dreams.

Nyle: an impatient dragon who can't escape from a 24-hour Solstice sleep that has lasted fifty years.

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.

Summer and winter solstice they turn to stone and sleep, usually in groups but occasionally alone, for twenty-four hours.

Saying no is never easy, saying no to a dragon? Pretty much impossible.

Maribelle Kankade helps run the family mercantile, with chances of a second store hanging within reach. She wants independence, a home close to her family, and a love match she chooses for herself.

Instead, everyone seems to have plans for her. Her parents are matchmaking. Family, friends, and customers all need her. Finding time for herself is another matter.

Then Maribelle falls asleep against Dragon Bone Ridge and wakes in a shared dream with a dragon. Nyle has been trapped in stone for fifty years, and he wants her out searching for his missing pieces so he can roam the skies again.

This has to be a crazy dream. But Nyle isn’t easily dismissed. If Nyle can’t reach her in her sleep, he’ll invade her daydreams instead.

The more Maribelle learns about Nyle, the harder it is to leave him trapped in stone. But his parts are spread wide, many repurposed and essential.

Nyle may have waited fifty years, but he might not make it through one more winter. Leave a vital piece behind, and he may never awaken.

Meanwhile, a budding romance with a visiting clerk from the north complicates everything. Seth has plans for independence too.

She could choose love over saving Nyle. Work over both. Family over work.

Behind every romance is an opinionated dragon.

A clean fantasy romance series filled with dragons, adventure, magic, slow-burn romance, and emotionally satisfying happily-ever-afters. You’ve found your standalone romantasy source in this 10+ fantasy series.
