    About this ebook

    Sixteen year-old Kieran Nightshade was always told to never trust a dragon, but after one wrong turn on the road to Delva Shien, she learns just the opposite. After befriending a dragon named Mohng, Kieran is whisked off onto a series of adventures she never thought possible, and quickly learns that her new friend may be the only one she CAN trust.

    Joseph J. Madden

    Born and raised in Queens, New York, Joseph J. Madden now resides on a horse farm somewhere in the wilds of SE Wisconsin with his wife, daughters, and a wide assortment of fur-covered critters. In March of 1978, then-seven year-old Joseph saw the original Star Wars in the theaters for the first time, an event that stirred within him a life-long love of science fiction and fantasy. By the age of twelve he began writing his own science fiction epics, a passion that continues to this day. Along with his first two novels The Starhawk Chronicles and Rest and Wreck-reation: The Starhawk Chronicles, Book II, he has contributed to the David Bowie anthology 47-16 (Penny Dreadful Publishing), Crossroads in the Dark Volumes III & V (Burning Willow Press) and has released his own collection of short fiction, Other Worlds: A Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

      Part I

      On Dragons Wings

      What is wrong with you people? I’ve done nothing wrong. Where are you taking me? Kieran Nightshade shouted over the bustle of the crowd and rattling of wagon wheels on the harsh, rocky terrain. She struggled against the rope that bound her to the post. The restraints dug deeper into her wrists.

      Even in the dim light of early evening, she could see their destination. The road—as loose a term if there ever was one for the rocky path they were ascending—wound its way up the side of a craggy mountain to a flat plateau at the top. Several tall posts like the one she was bound to jutted from the ground at odd angles like silent sentinels monitoring their approach.

      One wrong turn, she grumbled to herself. One wrong turn and instead of the nice seaside village of Delva Shien, I end up in Looneyville, population of a hundred or so oddnut zealots and me.

      The villagers had been on her almost as soon as she set foot in that scruffy little excuse for a town, nothing more than a few ramshackle huts tucked away in the clearing at the base of the mountain. Before she could protest they had her bound to this stupid post in this stupid cart and were leading her up the stupid mountain.

      Look I understand if you don’t like outsiders, she called to the villager nearest her, a tall, shaggy man with a mottled grey beard halfway down his chest. All you had to do was say something and I would have kept on going. I was on my way to Delva Shien and just took a wrong turn.

      It’s nothing personal, Lass. You was just wandering through at the wrong time. The man said without looking at her. He gestured with his walking stick to the plateau ahead. They were close enough now that Kieran could see the cave that loomed beyond the posts, the entrance to which was large enough to swallow a half-dozen carts the size of the one she was strapped into.

      The man turned his head just enough to favor her with a lazy eye. The beast needs to be sated.

      Kieran’s eyes grew wide at the man’s admission. It took her several seconds before she could squeak out, Beast?

      The man did not reply. The cart came to a sudden stop, causing Kieran to hit the back of her head against the post. The mouth of the cave loomed even larger. She blinked in the dim light. Perhaps they had not adjusted to the coming darkness, but she thought she saw the barest hint of
