The Ryder Chronicles and Dragon Tales

Through the Mountains
Published using CreateSpace in July of 2015 (Official Release was August 1st, 2015)
The first in the Incalescent Trilogy, a novel of the Ryder Chronicles
Book Blurb:
To Riona, life was simple. She and her mother lived on the outskirts of a village in the secluded Rhal-Dages Mountains of Bjergen. They grew, or hunted what they could, and traded for the rest. Her best friend for the twenty years of her life, Damien, and his family were there for her without question. At least until a mysterious figure reveals something within her, setting in motion events that sweep Riona into a conflict decades in the making.
After another figure’s unexplained visit, Riona is required to accept that the abilities she has had for so long, and tried to hide, come from magic. But since Moriel destroyed the legendary Ryders and their powerful dragons twenty-one years prior, magic was something to be feared by the people. Magic was dangerous, and those using it were sought out and killed.
Forced to leave her home, Riona is stalked by nightmarish shadow figures, as she tries to uncover the truth of who she is. Her choices, and discoveries, could mean the destruction, or salvation of the people she loves most.

Life is no longer as simple as it once was for Riona. Bonded to the last free dragon, and able to use magic like no one else in decades, she is the last Ryder.

Despite her companions rallying to stand with her, she and Feoras face perilous decisions as well as treacherous foes on all fronts.
An enigmatic figure leads Feoras and Riona on a journey south to Dages Tearmau—the seemingly deserted seat of the dragon Ryders—what is now Riona’s heritage. There they discover surprising new allies, and truths that could prove helpful or harmful in the wrong hands.
Not to be outdone, her best friend Damien faces obstacles in his journey across the seas to warn others of the impending danger. Storms, rogues, secrets and animals all obstruct his path. Will he survive long enough to help his friends?
Choices will be made. Alliances will be forged and broken as the War for the Realms sweeps across the lands.
