Rust-Kicker

Appropriate for all ages
In New Drakenstad, everybody bonds with a dragon on their tenth birthday. Everybody, that is, except for members of the Rust-Kicker Clan, the only clan whose dragons died out. Years after becoming a Rust-Kicker, fifteen-year-old Albie yearns to prove his worth by joining the fire brigade, but he fails in every attempt. So he spends his days chasing fires with his best friend, Dagney, and his nights dreaming of punching his rival, Bjorn, in the face.
But everything changes when Albie makes a shocking discovery: a fully grown Rust-Kicker dragon.
With Dagney’s help, Albie must bond with his new dragon and investigate who is responsible for a series of mysterious fires that could throw New Drakenstad into chaos. But in a world that has looked down on his kind for so long, what can a lowly Rust-Kicker like Albie do to succeed—especially when the investigation starts to turn deadly?

The Blood-Fire Trilogy

Book 1: A Soul Divided

Recommended for adults
A kidnapped princess.

A disgraced prince.

And a galaxy caught between empires of magic and steel.

When Olivia, heir to the Human Empire, is captured by an agent of the Mystics, her fate seems sealed. Her only hope lies in the hands of the most unlikely savior: a smart-mouthed pirate with a bloody past.

Drake Ashbell was once a Mystic prince—before forbidden magic turned him into an exile and a murderer. Now he’s content with a nearly respectable life of piracy. Until a job gone sideways forces him to work for the very empire that killed his family.
But how hard can rescuing their princess be?

To survive, Drake must face more than ruthless empires and old enemies. He’ll have to confront the limits of his own broken soul.
​

Firefly-style banter. Star Wars-scale conflict. A Soul Divided launches the Blood-Fire Trilogy—perfect for fans of snark, starships, and space magic.
