Description

Rider of Dragons

DRAGONS. RACING. ROMANCE.

She wants to race dragons.

Genevieve's family forbids her from joining the deadly dragon races. But she won't let them stop her.

He's the trainer she doesn't want, but needs.

Without her family's money, nobody will train her. Desperate for help, she agrees to a terrible deal: Qais, an alleged member of a dragon poaching gang, will train her to win the races, if she agrees to give him her prize money.

Every race could be their last.

The dragon races aren't just about being the fastest. There will be sabotage, attacks, and all-out violence. The devastatingly handsome Qais will teach her to be cunning and cruel, and Genevieve will be forced to answer a ruinous question: to win, is she willing to lose everything?

THE FIRST PART OF A THRILLING NEW ROMANTASY DUOLOGY FROM THE AUTHOR OF The Baby Dragon Cafe.
