Born in storm and hunger, five wyrmlings must learn to fly—or die. High in the Fallen Scale Peaks, the last brood of dragons claws its way into a world already turning against them. Srezzig, the blue—bold, reckless, and hungry for the sky—struggles to lead his clutchmates: Ukshagg, the calculating gold; Drozkax, the black with more rage than wisdom; Hashaezkend, the fragile pearl; and Shrarzeth, the small bronze. Under the brutal tutelage of Shyvnir the Elder, they face trials that would break gods—razor-winds, stormfire, and the cunning predators that stalk the mountains. Each challenge shapes them: from their first, shattering flight to the blood-hunt of the blink rams, to the storms that test the meaning of kinship itself. But when the skies darken and the Undragons rise from beneath the peaks, courage and cruelty will no longer be enough. The wyrmlings must decide whether to fight for their matron’s legacy… or forge their own. Sweeping, visceral, and told through the eyes of dragons themselves, A Quest for Dragons is a coming-of-age saga of survival, loyalty, and the price of freedom at the edge of extinction—perfect for readers of John Gwynne, Anne McCaffrey, and Naomi Novik.

A Quest for Dragons is a Young Adult fantasy novel that follows the initial adventure of five wyrmlings born amidst adversity. These young dragons must learn to fly to survive in the hostile environment of the Fallen Scale Peaks, where they face numerous challenges, including perilous storms and deadly predators. Srezzig, the bold blue, leads the clutch, comprised of varied personalities like the calculating gold Ukshagg and the rage-fueled black Drozkax. As they encounter trials that test their bonds and bravery, the wyrmlings must confront the looming threat of the Undragons, ultimately deciding whether to uphold their matron's legacy or create their own path.
