“Dragon Rings” is the first in a series of tales that starts with the restoration of an ancient affinity between Ring-Witches and dragons. Mayra and Wolfe, powerful witches, must overcome unknown enemies and betrayal from within to save the great black dragon, Gaulte, and the males of his Clan from slavery at the hands of their evil captors. But freeing the dragons is just the beginning, for Mayra and Wolfe and their small but fierce assembly of witches learn that there are some things worth more than a life, and causes that even dragons will die for. ************************************************************************************ Read More: Mayra, a powerful Witch who rides with a spirited clan of reevers, the king’s enforcers. A striking woman with wealth and power—both magical and political—her black wrist Rings that tell all that she is not merely a Witch, she is a Ring-Witch, with a level of magic only those with her power and training can equal. Unprovoked destruction in a remote area of the kingdom sends the reever Clan north to investigate the source. Mayra’s boredom is quickly alleviated in ways she never dreamed. She starts hearing voices and feeling strange and terrifying sensations. She suffers through visions of burning humans and demolished villages. And those revelations all too quickly become a terrible reality. Wolfe is an enigmatic and scheming man who catches the eye of the young Ring-Witch. It doesn’t take him long to figure out that Mayra is one female he will be hard-pressed to deceive. Wolfe plans to steal a small book containing information on the magical Rings that Mayra wears. Rings that Wolfe wears, as well—but they are another secret he’s keeping. Wolfe needs to rescue his Familiar, locate her child, save a witch from an owl—he doesn’t have time for an intriguing female who is hearing things. But shortly after accepting her assistance, he finds he must make time—Mayra just walked off with his book and Wolfe has started hearing weird things, as well. Mayra and Wolfe, join forces to investigate the ongoing—and very puzzling—destruction around them. How can something be powerful and vile enough to incinerate buildings, forests, animals, and people, yet leave valuable gold and jewels behind? What do these savage invaders want? The two young warriors soon realize that they are hearing and feeling the same presence, but it refuses to identify itself. When Mayra finds a talon, she suspects what is trying to contact them…Dragons. Mayra and Wolfe must determine if the magnificent creatures are guilty of the destruction being laid at their talons. Or is there another villain—is a spy close to the group undermining their efforts to unmask their enemy. Who is the mastermind behind this unspeakable betrayal? But the question of whether the dragons are innocent pawns or vicious human-killers becomes moot. On a quiet, snowy morning, the dragons return, and they carry brutal, fire-wielding men who will not stop their attack until every Witch and warrior is dead. And Mayra knows she must choose. Witch or reever. Which is she, who will win? And what will become of her life if neither does?
