A secret has long been buried. And when it’s uncovered, the real history of the dragonriders will change everything. The most powerful magical creatures in the world, have long been hated—by most. With great authority, comes many who will challenge it. The new generation of dragonriders face many of the same problems as their ancestors. And it’d difficult to take hold of the world, when they are fighting amongst themselves. The Rogue Riders haven’t gone away. They are just taking their time, growing more powerful.

A new set of dragonriders are in town. And they don’t play by the rules. Actually, for the Rogue Riders, there are no rules. There is just what belongs to them and that which they take from others. The Dragon Elite have never had such a huge problem to deal with. Fighting magitech armies is one thing. Cyborgs another. But battling their own, this makes it personal. Sophia must first protect those the Rogue Riders are threatening. Then she’s got to teach these new dragonriders whose boss of this planet. Can Sophia Beaufont lead the Dragon Elite to victory?

Nevin Goosemen has lost everything. His career as a politician. His magitech army. And his reputation. Those who have nothing else to lose are incredibly dangerous. The Dragon Elite have had their fair share of enemies, but no one like this. Nevin Goosemen isn’t going to rest until he’s destroyed every single dragon and their riders. It will be a race to protect the demon dragons before it’s too late. The Dragon Elite might have just won a battle, but in doing so, they started a war. Can Sophia Beaufont lead the Dragon Elite to victory?

S. Beaufont is about to learn firsthand that good doesn’t exist without evil. Crushing evil only makes it expand. That’s why the Dragon Elite are trying to protect the demon dragons. But fighting the politics surrounding them isn’t easy. And when mortals fear that evil dragons will take over the world they become an irrational force. Sophia has to do what she does best and employ strategy to overcome perceptions. And if that doesn’t work then she’s going to kick some serious butt to protect her dragons. Can she save the dragon population and therefore protect the world before it’s too late?

The Dragon Elite are growing more powerful. But so are their enemies. Dragon eggs have been stolen, but Sophia isn’t deterred. She will get them back and make the thieves suffer. Once she figures out where to look for them… The stakes are higher than ever as Sophia is sent on mission after mission to help the Dragon Elite, do Subner’s bidding and also save those at the Gullington who are still cursed. Quiet might be better, but the housekeeper for the Castle is still sick. Sophia won’t stop until she finds a cure for Ainsley.

The dragonriders have been given a second chance. But that only draws more attention to them. Many powerful people want a dragon egg. And they will kill for them. The Gullington has never been more unsafe. Harboring dragon eggs is dangerous business. Sophia Beaufont feels the pressure to protect and also defend like never before. Being a mama to eggs isn’t easy. And yet, S. Beaufont would have it no other way. Will the dragon eggs survive the greed seeking to steal them for selfish gains?

The first dragon rider in over a hundred years has been born. And it’s a girl. Never before has a female been chosen to ride a dragon. The Elite, a guild comprised exclusively of dragon riders, is dead according to most. No one has seen a rider in decades. The problems they used to fight overwhelm the world. Dragons are thought to be near extinction. However, the Elite aren’t dead… It’s just that a bunch of crusty, old men who do nothing that benefits the world at large are easy to mistake as useless corpses. Sophia Beaufont is about to change all of that.

Dragons are almost extinct. Eggs are rare. The dragons alive are in danger. All because of one man. Thad Reinhart doesn’t just want dragonriders gone because their role as adjudicators threatens his businesses. His grudge is personal. But there’s one thing he didn’t anticipate. S. Beaufont isn’t like any dragonrider before. She is modern. She thinks differently. And she definitely doesn’t look like a dragonrider. And when it comes to tackling challenges, Sophia uses new world thinking for old world problems.

Only a few dragonriders exist. Only five dragon eggs are left in the world. After they are gone, dragons and riders will be gone forever. Unless one woman can change everything. The only problem is that Sophia Beaufont doesn’t know what to do. Magitech is seeking to ruin the world. Everything hangs in the balance and not even Mother Nature can fix things. However, something is being orchestrated behind the scenes and S. Beaufont strangely feels like it involves her. Can she help to save the Dragon Elite? Will magitech destroy the planet?
