  Silver Dragon

  Marlies is good at healing. But she wasn’t good enough to save her friend.

  Now the Nightshader gang are after her. They’re fighters—strong, fast and mean. And they know where to find her. But when Giddi, the Dragon Mage, calls Marlies deep into Great Spanglewood Forest, she finds something she never expected...

  Bronze Dragon

  A routine hunting trip turns into a nightmare when Hans discovers a dead dragon rider, and terrifying beasts in the forest. Then his family goes missing. He must track the dangerous beasts to find his mother and sister, but everything goes go wrong. There’s only one hope left. Dare Hans dream of the impossible?

  Silver Dragon is exclusively on Eileen’s site. You’ll also get a free copy of Bronze Dragon.

  Ruby Dragon

  Tonio’s juggling with fire—a dying mother, two vengeful gang leaders breathing down his neck, and a tough dragon master hunting him down. Not to mention his step-brother who’s always looking for an excuse to wield a birch switch. If only the dragon master wasn’t about to make him an offer he can’t refuse. An offer that will lead to more trouble.

  Acknowledgements – For My Readers

  Riders of Fire has been a long-term passion project. In my previous books, I’ve acknowledged my editors, critique partners, proof readers, cover designer, map maker, teen beta readers, weapons & combat advisor, friends and family. In this box set, I’m thanking my readers.

  In the past two years, through email and online contact, I’ve gotten to know some of my readers. I’ve seen some of your struggles, your heartbreaks, your triumphs and your great moments. I’ve experienced your generosity, kindness and support. We’ve developed a community of like-minded people who love fantasy (and dragons), and enjoy escaping to other worlds and partaking of the good things in this world. Join my Facebook group to be part of this community.

  My readers and reviewers make this writing gig amazing. I love your reviews and enthusiasm for my stories. I love your jokes, insights, and your passion for Dragons Realm, Riders of Fire and your favorite characters. Thank you for having fun with me online, for buoying my spirits when the hours are long and the task lists endless, and for your awesome energy and sense of fun.

  You’ve named characters, lamented over their bad choices and rejoiced in their triumphs. You’ve laughed at the silly things Kierion does and the jokes that Erob cracks. You’ve admired Zaarusha and sympathized with Roberto, and you’ve cheered Ezaara on. And you’ve made a special place in your hearts for Ithsar. Why is all of this important?

  Fiction and fantasy provide a mirror for our own lives. Every week, we battle demons and shadow dragons. We take heart from companions who inject a sense of humor into our lives, and share their love with us. We rejoice in the small or large triumphs of others. And we gain courage from seeing others face challenges head on and win.

  Among difficult and disturbing times, I hope my riders of fire and their loyal dragons provide you with a welcome escape and a safe place to face down fear and come out triumphant. My stories would languish without you. But with you, these adventures soar upon dragon wings.

  Bergamot—Citrus fruit with a refreshing scent.

  Clean herb—Tangy, pale green leaves with antibacterial properties.

  Clear-mind—Orange berries, used to combat numlock. Stronger when dried, but effective when fresh.

  Dragon’s bane—Clear poison that, when it enters the blood, makes wounds bleed excessively, and then slowly shuts down circulation and breathing.

  Dragon’s breath—A rare mountain flower that, when shaken, produces a soft glow.

  Dragon scale—A gray powder that when swallowed gives the appearance of being numlocked, i.e. gray eyes and fingernails.

  Healing salve—A healing paste that contains arnica, piaua juice, peppermint, and clean herb, and promotes healing.

  Lavender—Highly-scented lilac whorled flowers. Relaxant, refreshing.

  Limplock—Green sticky paste with an acrid scent used to coat tharuk weapons. Acts on the victim’s nervous system, causing slow paralysis, starting with peripheries and making its way to the vital organs.

  Limplock remedy—Fine yellow granules that reverse the effect of limplock. Dose: one vial for an adult; three vials for a dragon.

  Numlock—Thin gray leaves, ground into a tangy powder. Saps victim’s will, determination and coherent thought. Used by Zens and tharuks to keep slaves in submission. Creates a gray sheen over the eyes and fingernails.

  Owl-wort—Small leaves that enable sight in the dark.

  Peppermint—Dark green leaves with aromatic scent. Good for circulation, headaches and as a relaxant.

  Piaua juice—Pale green juice from succulent piaua leaves. Heals wounds and knits flesh back together in moments.

  Piaua Berries—When eaten, these berries cause a coma that simulates death. The only remedy is piaua juice.

  Rubaka—Crushed leaves produce a pale green powder used as a remedy against dragon’s bane.

  Skarkrak—Bitter gray leaves. A Robandi poison. In mild doses causes sleepiness and vomiting; in strong doses, death.
