The Dragon Speaker

Kaelen's life in the fishing village of Driftwood is one of quiet despair, defined by salt-stung air and the ache of endless labor. His world is turned upside down when he discovers a dragon, a creature of myth, tangled and wounded on the storm-wracked cliffs. Defying his entire world, he frees the magnificent beast, an act of compassion that sparks an extraordinary bond. He names her Atheria. Hidden in a secluded sea cave, their friendship deepens into something profound, a telepathic connection that bridges the gap between species.
But they are not safe. Vorlag, a cold-eyed slayer from a feared guild, is hunting them. He knows the dragon is injured and valuable, but when he discovers Kaelen's unique ability to communicate and heal her, his pursuit becomes an obsession. To Vorlag, Kaelen is not a hero; he is the ultimate weapon. Forced to flee, Kaelen and Atheria embark on a breathtaking journey across a world of soaring mountains and hidden valleys.
As Kaelen learns to harness his emerging powers as a Dragon Speaker, a legend come to life, he and Atheria must learn to trust each other completely. Their flight becomes a test of their bond as they evade capture and face a final, devastating confrontation with the slayer that will force them to fight as one. A sweeping fantasy of found family and soaring adventure, "The Dragon Speaker" is a character-driven epic that explores the true meaning of partnership, proving that the strongest magic is not in domination, but in the unbreakable connection between two hearts.
