The Thief and the Ghost

A woman seeking her dream

A man seeking to reclaim what he once had

A destiny that seeks to bring them together

Liaban spends her days dreaming of becoming a wyvern rider. She thinks that once she gets a wyvern she will be able to be free and help her fellow humans. Because of her Nieth brother that seems like it won't happen. He has made it near impossible for anyone to take her as a rider. He also uses her profession as a gladiator to try to have her killed.

Even in the darkness she has found two friends: Gadwall a fellow gladiator and Mont an ex-wyvern rider.

When an opportunity arises to achieve her dream can she find the strength she needs?

This is the first book in my The Wyvern's Call series which can be found HERE. If you only want to get notifications for that series and don't care about the rest of my blog, follow by e-mail over there. If you already follow this blog by e-mail, there is no need to do the same at that blog. I will be posting snippets of each new chapter with a link to the complete chapter on this blog. Sort of like what I'm doing with CROSSING THE DIVIDE.

A warning that this series contains graphic content and themes that younger readers might be uncomfortable with.
