She was never meant to wield magic. Her dragon was never meant to fight. Together, they’ll change everything.
War has consumed Destia, reaching even the remote farmlands where Eva Thirsk toils for a family that never truly wanted her. So when army recruiters arrive, Eva seizes her chance to escape—and maybe uncover what happened to her long-lost parents.
Assigned to the menial supply ranks, Eva meets Perrell, a weary pack dragon bred to haul gear and provisions, not soar into battle like the bonded war-dragons of legend. When a resupply mission goes catastrophically wrong, Eva accidentally breaks an ancient seal…unleashing the Venistrare Warlock, a being of devastation long imprisoned.
In the chaos that follows, something awakens between girl and dragon—strange visions, surges of power, and a bond no pack beast should be capable of forming.
To save Destia, they’ll have to rise above what the world believes they are: a nobody and a beast of burden. Because even the lowliest dragon can carry the weight of destiny… and even the smallest spark can ignite a war.
The expanded and electrifying edition of Pack Dragon was rereleased in April 2026—prepare for more magic, adventure, and heart-pounding battles.
