More From the Same World

Two companion novels
are taking flight.

Beyond the trilogy, two beloved characters claim stories of their own — The Warrior's Oath and The Forbidden Crown. Standalone novels set in the world of the Shadow Dragon.

The Author

Mira Nightwing

Mira Nightwing writes the kind of dragon romantasy she could never find on the shelf — where the monster is the love story, the heroine is the danger, and the gods are the ones who should be afraid.

She writes from a drafty desk full of half-burnt candles and far too many notebooks, somewhere between the mountains and the sea. The Shadow Dragon Trilogy is her debut series.
