"They got the wrong person!"
That was Sable's first thought when she was chosen.
But the dragon academy wasn't looking for strength. She was chosen because she didn't fit in. Her dragon refuses to obey and is her exact opposite in every way, the school turns out to be a survival trial that kills more kids than it graduates, and every step away from home pulls her further into chaos. Caught between a safe, familiar past and a reckless, tempting future she's not ready for, Sable must risk all in a gamble that could cost everything.

I haven't read many books about dragons, but the ones I have read were cool. I decided I would try my hand at it and make it as realistic as I could. There are no powers in this book. No talking, flaming breathing dragons, shapeshifters, witches, vampires, or anything else like that. It's just a story that could almost be real.
I combined the dragons with a twisted version of the Hunger Games. Instead of a strict school system, it's literally survival. The teens chosen from each village get thrown into the wilderness with dragons that aren't opposed to killing. If you make it, you graduate. Not many make it.
It's slow build book for sure. For example, the first 8 chapters or so only cover about a day and a half of Sable's adventures after being chosen. There is also destined to be romance in this book, a love triangle to be exact, but it's clean as a whistle I swear.
This book is entirely mine (and very unedited lol) and no one is allowed to copy it. I'm actively writing book, so please forgive any inconstancies along the way. I'll do my best to give images of the characters, dragons and humans, at the beginning of some of the chapters.

P. S. If you like this book, drop a comment at the end. I have a sequel in mind, but I'll only do it once I've reached a certain amount of views.

After the Fall - An Apocalypse Romance
The world ended five years ago. We're still here. Unfortunately. When the dead started walking, the living stopped trusting each other. Governments fell. Raiders rose. And somewhere in a underground lab, scientists started hunting down the people the virus couldn't kill. Alia Shah has survived five years of the apocalypse with exactly one person she trusts - her brother. She isn't looking for more. More gets you killed. Then a stranger's bullet finds her shoulder, and suddenly she's bleeding out in a ruined city with three people she doesn't know, a twelve year old who keeps looking at her like she hung the moon, and a boy who shot her and apparently intends to spend the rest of his life feeling terrible about it. Great. Now they're headed south through two weeks of forest, military patrols, and raider territory, chasing a rumor about a survivor settlement that may or may not exist. Close quarters. Limited supplies. Two sets of brothers who are all sharp edges and bad communication. And somewhere between the gunshot and the journey, things start to get - complicated. AFTER THE FALL is a slow burn zombie apocalypse story about found family, learning to trust the wrong people at the right time, and what it means to be human when the world has done everything it can to make you stop.
