Black Dragon Rising

● "Kanastya Herbanya has always been an outcast. Orphaned young and raised by her grandmother on the edge of the swamp. Kanastya lives quietly on the fringes healing wounds, gathering herbs...and guarding a deadly secret. She knows dragon lore, and secrets like hers could mean death. For generations, the Sundered lands have known peace, but now war is brewing. Rogue dragons have returned and are attacking the four kingdoms with relentless fury. The kings of Vorden need dragons, but to raise them quickly requires blood and sacrifice. Kanastya is chosen as one of those sacrifices." ― paraphrased from this book's product page on Amazon.com as 2025-09-27.
