Dragons are amongst the most feared creatures in the paranormal world, nigh unbeatable and barely controllable. Every year, countless men and women who bear dragon potential are stolen away and turned into beasts, their former lives lost forever. They are drugged to compliance and trained to fight in the notorious pits for the profit of the crime lords who breed them.
Blaze has been a pit fighter all his life, and it is a life he hates. The only thing that keeps him going is that if he stops, he risks losing the only thing that matters to him: his dragon, Erie. Though pit rules say it’s a bad idea to get too close to the dragons, Blaze has never been able to help it. He’ll do anything to protect Erie.
Ken and his dragon Nevada were once victims of the pits, stolen from their normal lives and made to fight. Now, they work to bring down the pits they despise, though the battle seems futile. Everyone who has ever tried has wound up dead. Stopping the pit fights once and for all would take a miracle—or a legend.
This book was an arduous write. I had to stop and start more times than I care to admit because the damn thing just would not cooperate. There was one chapter I had to rewrite twice (once to fix stuff, once b/c my computer ate it). I was four chapters in when I realized I needed to add a POV, then I had to go back and redo everything to account for that. Every time I thought I was on track, something else would blow up in my face. At this point, I honestly hate looking at it. Some stories lay down nice and smooth. Other stories make you want to quit. Most fall somewhere in between the two.
But though I hate looking at it right now, the fact I still beat it into submission pleases me. I’m very happy with this story, and can’t wait until I’m able to do more with my DwtD dragons. It’s not a story for everyone, but for those who do pick it up, I hope you like it ^___^
You do not understand how long I’ve been waiting for this. So, let me just say, thank you so so so so much for toughing it out and writing it even though it was being a beast. I bought it and devoured it in less than 2 hours stopping only when absolutely necessary. That was yesterday. I’m going to read it again tonight. <3 so much.
