New Book


The only way to free her sister is to make a deal with a dragon…

In a city where brutal elves reign, with powerful dragon shifters as their henchmen, street thief Saskia’s only hope to rescue her sister lies with the gruff dragon shifter, Castor. He needs someone to pull off a heist of mysterious item, and she’s the only one desperate enough to do it. With Castor’s help, she’s able to save her sister—but now she owes him a dangerous debt.

To pay him back, Saskia embarks on a perilous mission to infiltrate the palace as a lady’s maid. As she navigates the treacherous world of elf nobility, Saskia becomes entangled in palace politics and finds herself drawn to an elvish scholar, despite the dragon’s warning. But now, Saskia’s bargain has put her in the sights of the sinister elven Empress Eirana.

In order to survive—and to protect the brusque dragon shifter who means more to her than she’s ready to admit—Saskia must face off against a centuries-old empress, whose dark powers can destroy an entire kingdom.

In a world teeming with magic and political intrigue, Saskia must find the strength within herself to navigate false alliances, uncover the truth, and forge her own destiny.

DRAGON DEFENDERS OF DESTIA: BOOKS 1 – 3

An orphan girl and a dragon runt are the kingdom’s only hope…

Eva Thirsk is no dragon rider… She’s just a lonely orphan on an isolated farm. In her hopes of finding a new life for herself—and maybe learning more about her past—Eva enlists in the army. But when she’s put to work, she finds herself relegated to the lowest of jobs—cleaning the dragon stables.

Too small for combat, Perrell is a lowly pack dragon who dreams of flying into battle. But like Eva, she refuses to accept her fate. She senses a spark of courage in the young orphan… the same spark that burns in her own heart. Together, they will form a friendship. But when the warlock Malcolm Venistrare escapes his magical prison, everything changes.

Now, Eva finds herself imbued with strange new magical abilities. With that magic, she’s capable of bonding with a dragon, making her and Perrell the dragon-riding team they’d always dreamed of being. But the magic holds a dark side. There are deep mysteries surrounding the power she now holds, the forces she’s capable of wielding… and the family line she secretly carries.

As Venistrare joins with Destia’s enemies and escalates the war, the whole nation is at risk. Will Destia support Eva as she battles against the warlock—or will they turn against her once the truth is revealed?

What Readers Are Saying

Richard Buie — Reader

“I loved it!! I am a dragon fanatic and this was a well written, fast paced read! A little different version of dragon communication and attitude than Anne McCaffrey’s books (which I absolutely love by the way!) I would highly recommend this book to any one, any age! Already started on the 2nd book!!!”

S. Martin — Reader

 

 

“Very entertaining! I am looking forward to reading more stories about these characters. The story was paced very well, held my attention and when I had to stop reading I would anticipate my next session. Can’t ask for more from a story.”

Tara B — Reader

 

 

“I loved this book! It is a new spin on the ‘dragon bonding with human’ dynamic. Two people, not one, are chosen by the dragon to be its riders. And when they are a pair as mis-matched in station and experience as Thea and Seb are, the fur is going to fly! I can’t wait for the next books – just got book two and started reading it, hope it’s as good as book one!”

Kindle Customer — Reader

 

 

“I have enjoyed dragons and their world all my life. However, the new direction Ava Richardson has taken is fantastic. I love the interaction between dragon and rider. But, I have always felt there was something else needed, another element to really bring the dragon rider bond full circle. Two riders and their dragon all working together to fulfil their oath was inspiring. I look forward to the continuing story that, Ava has begun to unfold. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves dragons as I do. Ava Richardson has something truly special to give, to all who love dragons and the world they encompass.”

Ava Richardson writes epic page-turning Young Adult Fantasy books. She creates lovable characters and drops them into intricate worlds that are barely contained within your eReader. Her current work is the ‘Return of the Darkening Series’, which features Seb, Thea and their shared dragon, Kalax.
