Dragon Guard
A valkyrie faces her midlife crises when the dragons she’s monitoring start to wake, her son goes missing, and she’s forced to accept an uneasy alliance with the new security team.
Once I was a valkyrie...
Today, I live with my eighteen year old son on Greenland, where I maintain a crew of scientists and newly-added security personnel. Our job has been to watch over three sleeping dragons, but thanks to the warming of the oceans and the melting of the sheet ice, the dragons are showing signs of waking. And they’re not the only dangerous creatures on the island. The changing climate has other hungry beasts on the prowl.
My son thinks he’s like me and can take on the world. But he’s no valkyrie. We used to get along so well, but lately he refuses to listen to me. I shouldn’t have been surprised when he stowed aboard a transport headed for dragon patrol. That transport has been attacked by a beast that kills nearly everyone, and now my son is missing.
The head of security and a small team insist on accompanying me, wanting vengeance for their fallen friends and co-workers. I should go alone, but my own emotions are high, and I’m worried I’ll miss an important clue. The head of security has been a particular thorn in my side since his arrival, and I really don’t want him with me, but I accept a temporary alliance.
Soon into our journey, I discover this group has trust issues of their own, and their cohesion is not as it seemed when they were hired. They’re hiding secrets.
To get my son back before the dragons wake and raze the planet, I have to find the traitor in the group before they tear each other apart. To say nothing of surviving the land’s monstrous beasts.
Welcome to my midlife crisis.
COMING SOON!
