Dragons of Esternes

As the life of a slave goes, Kantees doesn't have it too bad. Being responsible for a racing dragon means her existence is more than just drudgery and fear, even if her life is at the whim of her masters and their rules.

As the life of a slave goes, Kantees doesn't have it too bad. Being responsible for a racing dragon means her existence is more than just drudgery and fear, even if her life is at the whim of her masters and their rules.

As a runaway slave, Kantees isn't safe anywhere—but the need to find out who'd pursuing her, and why, drives her back to her first master. But when he is unable to give her the answers she needs, and with death at every turn, she has to take what she can and get out. As her dragon carries her beyond the realms of what she has ever known, her lack of understanding brings her face-to-face with the true power of her enemies. Once more, she has to risk everything to keep the promises she wished she had not made.

Looking after dragons is easy, but when you steal one things get harder. Free at last from those who harass her and hold her back, Kantees finally searches for her own people in the mountains of Esternes.

When your path is uncertain, it's better to be riding a dragon. As Kantees tries to build an army against her enemy, trouble strikes at her from every side, and it seems she's doing it to herself. But even finding new allies where she least expects them, she struggles to find a place for herself, still unwilling to lead her friends into danger.
