Nikki And The Dragon Dance 
(Note: this is book one in my future series) 
In the quiet coastal town of Burthshollow, where mist clings to the forest and secrets hum beneath the soil, a young tavern girl named Nikki lives a simple life - until a storm leads her deep into the woods and face-to-face with Aureole, an ancient emerald dragon. Bound by a mysterious pulse of light and life, their fates intertwine in ways neither can fully understand.
As Nikki learns to wield the living magic that flows through their shared bond, she must hide her growing powers from the wary townsfolk - and from those who would seek to control it. But whispers travel fast, and the bond between girl and dragon awakens forces older than memory itself.
A story of connection, courage, and the wild heartbeat of the world, Emerald Hearth follows Nikki's journey from hearth and home to destiny and danger - where love, magic, and fire will shape not just her life, but the future of both humankind and dragonkind.
