ABOUT THE BOOK

What if death is the beginning of a grand adventure?

In a world where dragon riders and dragon hunters have been at war for centuries, power is everything.

Kayla was never supposed to survive.

One year ago, she walked away from a plane crash that killed her entire family. Now, she’s spent every day trapped in the weight of her grief, ignored by former friends, haunted by flickering memories of fire, screams, and something impossible—a dragon pulling her from the wreckage.

She's summoned to Theridon Academy, the prestigious school where only the strongest dragon riders train. But the moment she arrives, she realizes something is different about her—something the dragons recognize. Something the hunters fear.

With the kingdom on the brink of war, riders and hunters are forced to face the truth: the balance of power is shifting.

And the academy is full of secrets:

The golden prince is perfect and untouchable who was born to lead.
The dangerous dragon hunter, ruthless and unpredictable, was raised to destroy everything she stands for.

Both want her on their side.
Both could be her undoing.

As strange visions of the past creep into her mind, Kayla starts to wonder: Is she here to carve out a new destiny? Or is this a life she’s already lived before?

The riders have trained for war.
The hunters have been waiting for revenge.

And Kayla? She's caught in the middle forced to make a choice that can alter her whole reality.

🔥 Perfect for fans of romantasy, dragon academies, and high-stakes rivalries, The Magic of Dragons is an action-packed fantasy adventure filled with powerful creatures, thrilling romance, and a world teetering on the edge of destiny. This series is for readers who want stories like His Dark Materials, Throne of Glass, and Fourth Wing––without the spice!
