Powerful dragons, vivid worlds, daring escapes, and diverse characters comprise this award-winning young adult fantasy novella sprinkled with just the right hints of horror and romance.
"Zale. Gauthier. Varden. For me, these three dynasties have always sounded like something out of an ancient myth or fairy tale from another world. The concept of humans and dragons living in harmony with one another, without fear, is a distant dream only read of, told of secretly, and quietly yearned for. For, you see, I am the new Quelda of the Tynan Dynasty."
Crisilin and her new husband, Chalom, must choose to embrace cruel tradition, run from it, or stand against it. Their only hope lies in rallying the help of the three other dragon dynasties of Sulaimon—but tradition is not on their side, even outside Tynan. Their only aid stems from a sprite whose moods are as changeable as her magic, a young minstrel, and a mysterious fox.
Together, can Crisilin, Chalom, and their new companions convince the dragon emperors to grant them the musical Aria that can rid Tynan of its evil? Can they unite the four dynasties as a peaceful whole? And can they beat the clock to complete their quest before Tynan carries out its horrible ritual once again?

“It was full of mystery, suspense and adventure and grabbed me from page one and held my attention throughout the story... I think fans of the Hunger Games would enjoy this book as well. It has the same elements of survival, suspense and romance. This book is much shorter though, just over 200 pages, so it’s a perfect summer read!”

“Full of action, adventure, and exquisite writing, Bloodmaiden is an enchanting, heart-wrenching fantasy novel that perfectly balances the darker and lighter elements that are delicately woven throughout the story... Bloodmaiden should not be overlooked.”
