Dragons and Aces: Dragons and Aces Series Book 1 - Paperback

by J. G. Gates (Author)

A dragon rider. A biplane pilot. Two enemy nations, one epic love story.

Essa may be the queen's daughter, but she's the lowest ranked of all the Skrathan-the corps of elite dragon riders tasked with defending her kingdom. When her sister is killed, Essa has a chance to compete in a deadly challenge to replace her as leader of the Skrathan. But because she has only one arm, no one believes she can win.

When a handsome stranger from the enemy nation washes up on the shore, he offers to train Essa in the ways of flying. It soon becomes clear he's much more than the reporter he seems to be. Unbeknownst to Essa, he is the famed Silver Wraith, the greatest ace in history, who crash-landed in enemy territory. Essa can't trust him-but he seems to be the only one who believes in her.

As the final challenge approaches, the attraction between Essa and Kit becomes unbearable. And malevolent factions within the court are watching and plotting. Will Essa win the challenge and claim the crown, or will her desire for Kit bring ruin upon her-and the entire kingdom?

Dragons and Aces is an enemies-to-lovers romantasy series featuring a morally gray love interest, mistaken identity, court intrigue, and spice. It is for adult readers.
