The Third Thornton

Kaela Freydis Thornton has always been the voice of reason in a family of chaos. As the sharp-witted, fiercely independent older sister of Ruffnut and Tuffnut, she's the only one who can silence their wild antics with just a look-or a well-placed threat to drag them by the ears. While her siblings chase chaos, Kaela prefers solitude, strength, and silence... especially in the wild woods of Berk.

But everything changes the day she stumbles upon a wounded, shot-down Stormcutter.

Instinct tells her to finish the job-to kill the dragon like she's been taught. But something stops her. Something in its eyes... and something deep inside her. Instead of slaying the beast, she sets it free.

That decision will reshape her destiny.

As Kaela forms an unbreakable bond with the powerful Stormcutter-whom she names Brimstorm-she begins to question everything she thought she knew about dragons, duty, and herself. And in the midst of it all, an unexpected connection forms with a certain outcast Viking named Hiccup Haddock. What begins as a hesitant friendship soon sparks into something neither of them anticipated.

In a world where loyalty is tested and legends are born, one girl's choice to show mercy will ignite a storm.
