After watching her dragonborn mother get taken away at a young age, she has had to learn to use her sorcery inherited from her father to disguise all trace of her own dragon’s blood magic. Now, no longer a child, Andie must attend the University, center of all magic and government in Arvall City, to learn to wield her magic and become a fully-fledged sorcerer.
But Andie has another goal in mind.
Dreams of her tormented ancestors calling out to her have haunted her since she was a child, and Andie knows she must answer their call and discover the truth. But she must do so in the magical capital in the world, surrounded by powerful sorcerers determined to uphold the lie at all cost. If they discover that she carries the blood of the dragonborn, death with be swift and her people will never get a chance at redemption.
Will Andie risk everything to shatter the lies that the world has been fed for so many years? Will she set her people free?
Fueld by Dragon’s Fire:
The dragons have returned. The world still wants them dead.
The ancient dragonborn people have returned to Shaeyara, and with them came the dragons. But the celebration of their return is short lived as they soon discover they are not welcome. The world is at war.
After living underground for eight months, Andie and her followers have had enough. It is time to return to the surface to find her people, and together they must stop the lies and prove to the world who the true monsters are: The University that has had the world in its clutches for centuries.
The only problem is those who survived from the University have already convinced the world of their evil and will stop at nothing to have them destroyed. But with the peace of their world at stake, Andie and the dragonborn must band together to reunite the war-ravaged world before it’s too late.
Only, with a traitor in their midst, the task is proving more difficult than Andie could have ever thought.
Called by Dragon’s Song:
Dragonborn and sorcerers unite in the face of war.
Arvall has finally accepted the dragonborn and their dragons, and the University is finally set to re-open in a time of relative peace. But in not so distant lands, the enemy prepares to strike.
For where one hopes for peace, two more hope for revenge. Revenge on the dragonborn and their dragons, and the magic born to their blood.
So long as the enemy lives, the world cannot find peace.
Uniting with the citizens of Arvall, Andie and the dragonborn face their most dangerous enemies of all. And their existence in the modern world hangs on the outcome of the war.
”Action-packed thriller ride through an urban fantasy that brings the ancient past to the distant future.” ★★★★★
”Definitely a mix of Aragon and harry potter. Great cast of characters excellent story plenty of magic action good and evil. Mix in a little bit of prejudice and bias and see what causes the hatred and how these characters work their way through it and reach their goal. Magical mystical world at its best. Definitely you must check it out” ★★★★★
“Wow. It doesn’t matter what walk of life we are from we all need to fight for what we believe in.” ★★★★★

Return of the Dragon Born – A trilogy of which this is the first set of three books. While I had previously read Fueled by Dragon’s Fire #2 and liked it per my May, 2017 review with an average rating of 3 stars, I can not recommend this series. I realize these books are for the school-aged audience, but the behaviors of these characters aren’t what I would want my grandkids to replicate or consider acceptable. The books are quickly read, but don’t offer much in character development or complex story lines. This trilogy could have been tons better in those departments because the idea behind these books was good, but the execution was lacking, along with not being well thought out or realistic in many areas. Why editing wasn’t bothered with is disconcerning since an editor would have tightened and corrected the story line making a good idea into a good series with likable and realistic characters and dialog. I volunteered to read the second and third books. Average, 3*
Marked by Dragon’s Blood #1 – I was confused by a 19-year-old who was 11 days late to the Academy and still couldn’t get to class on the 12 day, the last day before expulsion. It’s her last chance to get into the academy and without it she can’t practice magic. I wanted to stop reading at this point since I find this behavior unacceptable. And then, I find she’s immature in actions and thoughts; she makes demands of an instructor and she’s still not in class, to which she was on her way. The instructor popped an entrance exam on her, she pitches a hissy fit and states that he didn’t think for himself when doing the Academy’s exam; yeah, like that’s realistic.
I’m getting too much political correctness and immature behavior to make me read beyond this point (chapter five). She’s a hated dragonborn, but she behaves this way in a dangerous city? I had problems with the first seven chapters, but I kept on reading, to my regret. There’s a cliffhanger and too much more on which to comment. Needs major editing. My 3 stars is for the idea but not the writing of this trilogy. There are better stories and even if this set is free, remember your time is valuable. Average, 3*
Fueled by Dragon’s Fire #2 – Original review: May, 2017. Includes a prologue, which I appreciate. I didn’t read Marked by Dragon’s Blood (#1), but I still enjoyed this book without any problems since it moved along at a good pace. But I would recommend reading Marked first. Editing needed. 3*
Update, July 19, 2018: Having read Marked, I can no longer recommend reading it first. I would totally skip reading Marked and start with Fueled. After reading Marked and Called, I wonder how much I actually liked Fueled.
Called by Dragon’s Song #3 – After having read Marked, I ended up skimming Called. I didn’t re-read Fueled, my first read. Still a quick read, without skimming, I found the characters hadn’t grown, the story line is full of conflicts but no substance/depth but it’s still fast paced, just not enough for me. Editing is still a major problem for the author and she really needs an editor to help her make this trilogy tons better. Average, 3*
