Dragons & Runics Series by A. Wrighton

THEY WERE ALL DEAD. At first, a collective power in the Seven Soleran Kingdoms made sense. United under the Council, they thought it would be the end of years of war and death. When the Council ordered the systematic murder of those capable of wielding magic - Runics - as reparation for their role in the Soleran loss of the Great War, no one thought twice of the order. Except a few Dragonics - prestigious dragon riders - who defied the damning orders and instead demanded justice... moreTHEY WERE ALL DEAD. At first, a collective power in the Seven Soleran Kingdoms made sense. United under the Council, they thought it would be the end of years of war and death. When the Council ordered the systematic murder of those capable of wielding magic - Runics - as reparation for their role in the Soleran loss of the Great War, no one thought twice of the order. Except a few Dragonics - prestigious dragon riders - who defied the damning orders and instead demanded justice. But, their call for defiance came too late. NONE SURVIVED. Now, those against the Council's oppressive reign have long since been outcast to the fringes of society - their numbers and will dwindling. Alaister Paine, Commander of the Rogue Dragonics - an elite force of Resistance Dragon Riders - leads the quest for freedom and justice with little hope of success. On the eve of a political victory for the Council, Paine deciphers one of his predecessor's logs revealing that one Runic - a woman of untold magic - was hidden from the Council's grasp. Find the Runic, and the Rogues will finally be able to enact a legendary prophecy meant to free Solera and bring justice back to its people. Trouble is… they are not the only ones searching for the last Soleran Runic. less

ANOTHER DEAD END Finding the remaining Catalysts should have been easy. Or, at least easier. With the first of five Catalysts safely under their protection, the Rogue Dragonics are one step closer to the Prophecy. One step closer to revealing The One who will free Solera from the Chancellor’s tyranny. But all leads have turned up dry or are suddenly silent. Dead. To make matters worse, Commander Callon McKafrey has gone missing – it’s been days since anyone has heard from him... moreANOTHER DEAD END Finding the remaining Catalysts should have been easy.

One step closer to revealing The One who will free Solera from the Chancellor’s tyranny. But all leads have turned up dry or are suddenly silent. Dead. To make matters worse, Commander Callon McKafrey has gone missing – it’s been days since anyone has heard from him. AN UNEXPECTED ALLY In today’s Solera, it is every man for himself. No one can be trusted and selflessness is a distant memory. But, when a stranger with a not-so-secret alliance gets cornered, the only thing to do is help. Help because he’s a good guy in a world gone mad – a resistance fighter against the Realm’s corruption – a Rogue Dragonic. Even if it means revealing a dark secret – one that tends to get people killed. A secret that will throw the entire order of Rogue Dragonics on its head and bring them one step closer to ending over 20 cycles of fighting, heartache, and death. It makes perfect sense. It is perfect timing. Except… How do you convince someone consumed by secrecy to help anyone but themselves? less

THREE IS A CROWD Never belonging anywhere was something you got used to—at least in Bandorea. Wanting something more, was something you learned to shun... moreTHREE IS A CROWD Never belonging anywhere was something you got used to—at least in Bandorea. Wanting something more, was something you learned to shun. But when presented with the chance to change your fortune and pursue your dreams, do you take it? Even if it risks your happiness, your family, and your life? And, if you did take that chance, how do you convince your realm’s mortal enemies that you only mean to help and live to tell the tale of it? FALLING INTO PLACE The Rogue Dragonics should have been happy when they found her — the Dragon born to be ridden by The One. But how can anyhow rejoice when one of their own has abandoned the cause for the Chancellor's? Just how long will their spies and allies remain safe with a traitor in their midst? less
