Begin the complete, dragon-filled adventure.

As the only child of the dragoneer, Trysten has a strong connection to the dragons of the village weyr. When her father is injured and can no longer lead the dragons into battle, he must choose his successor. Trysten wants the job, but tradition forbids women from holding the title.

A new dragoneer must be named quickly. Winter is waning, and the mountain passes will soon open. On the other side, the kingdom's enemies wait with firebreath and bowstrings ready.

When Trysten’s father chooses her childhood friend as the new dragoneer, Trysten sets aside her own ambitions in order to save the village. She uses her connection to the dragons to help her friend bond with the alpha before it’s too late. But the alpha dragon is not bound by tradition and has ideas of her own.

Enjoyed by fans of Anne McCaffrey, the first book in The Dragoneer series is a full-length novel featuring strong women, hope for a better future, and an unfolding supernatural mystery appropriate for most ages.

The heroine is indeed a strong character and the story enthralling. My one disappointment would be that most of the male characters are not as strong. I hope book two in the series will offer that. Men and women can be equally strong partners who all play to their strengths to enrich the whole. I want more of that. I will read on to find out if this very talented couple offer us that.

Ah man, the heroin did not get the guy. No marriages happened in this series. Of course, it's kinda hard to think of romance when you're inundated with war and trying to keep everyone alive. I read this to the very end of the series and loved every page. Many's the nights when I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning because I just couldn't put it down. It was very well written, and the weave of characters (and dragons) was beautiful.

Why have I not heard of these books before?! The beautiful detail in every sentence, the wonderful story telling, a woman trying to prove herself in a world run by men, and dragons that care for the people who care for them, all made it difficult for me to stop reading when I needed sleep. I already purchased the second book in the series and can't wait to see what happens next!

This is a coming of age story of a girl who loves dragons. It tells of the myths and history of the dragons in her world. She has special abilities in relating to dragons most do not have. Good story.

Dragons....impossible things happening... women empowered. I just loved it. Hadn't read a good fantasy in a bit. This just checked all my boxes. I wish there was more description of the dragons, but I loved it. I need more. My imagination is just fine and filled in the details missed. I'm getting the next book now.

I have been inhaling the Dragoneers for the last two weeks. It is annoying when work or the need to answer Nature's call interrupts me. I have been gulping these books as if they are water and I am alone in a desert.

A standard premise of a young woman denied her heritage due to her gender. What follows is a natural progression of her development, in between action packed scenes. I want her to win! But I never know if she is going to.

I have read the first 7 books in two weeks, to the detriment of my sleep and job, but I can't help it. Last night, at 1:00 AM, I convinced myself that it was perfectly reasonable to start a new book.

I am galloping towards the end, but wanting to slow down because what the heck will I do when it is over?

Finally, a series that grips you from the first page. Characters that build to a crescendo, making you hold your breath as you turn the pages, waiting for the next flight. All the excitement and storytelling, love and fantasy of an Anne McCaffrey tale. The storyline is strong and beautifully written. For anyone who loves to escape into the fantasy world of fighting dragons, this series is a must read. Love it!

I picked this book up this morning; didn’t put it down while I made dinner, or while I ate. It’s that engrossing.

A young woman fights to be included in the rites for leadership of the dragons, but is denied on the basis of her gender. What no one knows yet is that this woman will become a legend in her own time.

This is the story of how it came to be.
