A Dragon in the Forest

Chenna, a skilled hunter, has never had her head in the clouds, but when a dragon with a grisly cargo drops out of the sky and lands at her feet, in the clouds is exactly where she finds herself. Helping the dragon return home seems like a welcome distraction from the recent loss of her sister and an unwanted betrothal offer. After swearing not to bind herself to the saddle, Chenna leaves her beloved forest behind and sets off for a destination known only to the dragon. Along the way, they cross paths with a band of dragon riders who are not what they seem, and Chenna finds herself the hunted instead of the hunter. As their route takes her farther from home and closer to the heart of danger, Chenna teams up with a wounded young man and former dragon rider to help her fulfill a promise. But with a band of rogues behind her, the Queen's horde ahead of her, and a dragon driven to carry her to the edge of the world she knows, Chenna must take all the skills of a life in the forest and apply them to the sky, only to find that any promise worth keeping will require sacrifice.
