Dragonfire: Storm's Awakening is an urban epic fantasy of Awakening, survival, and sovereignty- where dorm rooms, finals, and late-night mistakes collide with dragons, ancient magicks, and an Empress' throne surrounded by blood.
Ashling is nineteen- a college freshman still figuring out who she is and where she belongs- when one choice shatters her world. What she thinks is ordinary cannabis that was handed to her by a concealed Awakened Western Drakk turned out to be Endring- dragon Cannabis- a tightly-controlled substance with the power to force a dormant Drakk to Awaken. The result is irreversable; storms gather in the sky over campus as teal fire floods her veins. She awakens as a Hellig Western Drakk; one of the most powerful and feared Drakk sublineages thought all but extinct.
Thrown into a hidden world that has existed alongside Humanity for centuries, Ashling learns the truth behind her Awakening: she is the lost daughter of a mudered Empress; her survival erased from history to protect her from unseen, power-hungry eyes. Gifted with control over air and lightning along with her fire, Ashling's power is immense- and dangerously untrained. Every faction sees her differently: a symbol, a weapon, a liability, or a prize. Some want to crown her while others want to control her. More than a few would rather see her dead before she can choose her own path.
As Hunters wield and refine stolen and warped Drakk knowledge, Ashling must learn to survive in a world where trust is rare and bloodlines are currency. Caught between her mundane Human life and a legacy forged in fire and storm, she faces a question no one can answer for her:
Will she become what the world demands- or redefine what a Drakk Empress can be?
Lush, intense, and female character-driven, Storm's Awakening blends modern urban fantasy with deep mythic lore and explores identity, power, and the cost of inheritence when the storm itself has a will of its' own.
