Have you ever wanted something so badly you would do anything to have it? Meet Astra Olesdatter, a Illiquan teen aged girl who wants to train at Mistport's School for Seamen to learn how to become the vinr, or leader, of her own crew. Her ultimate goal is not just Mistport's School for Seamen, however. It's to see the Silver Wind, a legendary wind that only appears once every twenty years. It's beauty is said to be unparalleled, and that anyone who sees it is forever changed. It happens to be two years and a day from Astra's eighteenth birthday, but the travel to the only place where it occurs is long and hard. Astra dreams of it more than anything, though several obstacles stand in her way. An overprotective brother, a school filled with people who seem to wish her harm, and the single fact that girls aren't allowed to be a vinr, to name a few.

A shroud of darkness descends upon Idilia, a world nestled within the vast Realm of Realis. Astra, the once-noble Crimson Knight, and high-ranking Vanamir Vice-Councilor, has shattered the very veil separating creation from the Non-Creation in his insatiable quest for power.

In a desperate race against time, these unlikely heroes embark on a perilous quest, their every step fraught with danger.

A Fifth Daughter [Book 1: The Dragon Rider]
A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #3 in Fantasy |Book 1 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| When darkness arises and the world of Fantasy is in danger of being destroyed, the Dragon Riders are the first to show up. Fire and fang, sword and shaft, meet the enemy head on and the wars don't end until the enemy is disbanded. It's not a pretty business, but it must be done to secure the lives of every creature within Fantasy. There are two Rider schools - over thousands of Riders and dragons - and Smoke Green is one of them, no matter how much she dislikes the idea and the heights. Her fate has been chosen, even if she doesn't want it. With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally. Moving from Folklore to Legend, Smoke is taught that fears can be conquered and villains do have a hunger for power. She also learns she might just have the power this villain is after. She makes friends: Something she didn't know she could do, she finds her dragon: Someone she didn't know even existed, and she learns her past: Something she didn't know was so complicated. But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around. Especially, when the enemy is from one of their own royal families; once thought incinerated, and his accomplice might just be Smoke's long thought dead father. In this first book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy, J.J. wants you to forget everything you think you know of mythology and open your mind to a new kind of fantasy.
