The Land of Ignos was prosperous and peaceful since time immeasurable. The riders had always been well respected, but in recent years they have become novelty. The numbers of dragons have been dwindling slowly over the past few decades.
The fledglings are either hatched weak or die within the egg.
Now even the humans have started having the same problem. The babies are either dying in wombs or soon after birth.
No one can figure out the problem, nor find a solution.
The academy now has hardly 2-3 new dragon rider pairs per year.
This year the scene looks even more bleak.
There are only 2 eggs.
Chances are one of the fledglings will die within, which means only one dragon rider pair.
And if both die.... ?!
This marks the worst year so far.
But on the bonding day, Ignos gets a shocking surprise!
A new dragon rider pair suddenly arrive at the academy, and they're not fledglings either.
Who are they? Where did they come from? Does this mean end of this cursed period of dwindling?
Or is it going to bring more problems?

Nobody knows why, but only women can bond with dragons to be their riders. But now, the dragons have been kidnapped by a mage who wants to change that, and the remaining dragon riders have to find out where he's taken them. Arethia's safety is now left to the mages, and Karume mages using the forbidden bound magic begin creeping into Arethia while the search for the missing dragons is stalled. Can Tesa and her friends bring the dragons back to Arethia before it's too late?

It is a work in progress, and I may end up making changes when it is done. It feels kind of strange to be posting the third book in my series here with the other two for sale, but I wanted to start getting this story out there for those who have been awaiting it. If you haven't read the other two books, they are available on Amazon as ebooks and paperback. The first one is called "Dragons of Arethia: Tesa's Journey" and the second one is called "Binding Magic."

Then they were brought down by jealous men who feared their power. Now blue eyes are a curse and dragons are a laughingstock, neither seen outside of slavery. Born a slave, her fair features mark her as a witch who is worth less than even the right to a name. He is a dragon who was raised in the arena, a life that left him unable either to fly or to breathe fire. Thrown together by an ambitious showman, they are united by a bond as old as the legends. Together, they have a hope for something more than the lives to which they were born, if only they can learn to trust each other. The words of a mysterious minstrel point them west, where rumors say their people live in freedom. The road there is hard, and at the end of it they find themselves a world embroiled in a secret war. This new world is ruled by a king who values tradition above all else. At every turn their new friendship is tested, and they are forced to decide how much they are willing to pay for a place to call home.
