In the first story...

Useless... Unwanted... Unloved...

When those closest to you see you only as a useless crippled child with no hope of a future, where do you find the strength to prove them wrong?

No one believed in Cara-AabiLynn, not even her own father and the woman who raised her. Born with a stunted arm and leg, those who she loved the most saw her as worthless and withheld their love from her. Given to a cruel man to cover her father's gambling debt, Cara's life of uncertainty became one of certain hardship and despair.

In the first story, candidates assemble to participate in the Dragon Rite, a ceremony to bond with a dragon hatchling.

Cara has a chance to break free from her harsh life as a slave and bond with one of the dragon hatchlings but only if fate will allow her.

The Dragon Rite... the dragon queen lays her eggs and children must decide which egg among her clutch to select. Cara selects an unwanted egg among the brood, unwanted just like her.

Ratings and reviews

After 2 short chapters it says read the next book. Um why? The first one isn't a book. Everyone needs to make money but breaking up your story so you can gauge readers is not the way to do it. Put 1 entire book together, invest in good editing and charge a normal fee like $5 or $6. What you loose in putting it all together you gain in good reviews and word of mouth.

I was pleasantly surprised by AabiLynn's Dragon Rite #0 Dragon's Brood. It's a great prequel that provides valuable backstory and character development for the main series. The world-building is even more impressive in this book, and the action is non-stop. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone read, it's definitely recommended to read it before diving into the main series.

This is a nice departure from other fantasy...there is a good grounding to a real, struggling character. I am looking forward to continuing her story.
