Dragon Spawn Chronicles Book 1

One rescue could ignite a galactic war. When a disgraced starship commander pulls two young enemy warriors from certain death, he knows he is risking his career. What he does not yet know is that he may be risking far more. Jori and Terkeshi are sons of the Dragon family, raised from birth in a brutal warrior code that echoes the samurai but has been twisted into something far darker. They are not helpless children. They are not what they seem. And neither are the people hunting them.

Aboard a starship belonging to the Cooperative, a galactic alliance that prides itself on enlightenment and restraint, the two brothers are prisoners, guests, and threats all at once. The crew does not trust them, and they have been trained never to trust anyone. Yet as days pass in close quarters, cracks begin to show. One brother starts to question the path his father set before him, while the other clings to it with everything he has. For the commander, every choice becomes a test: protect his crew, obey his orders, or do what he believes is right when those three things can no longer be reconciled.

Saving the enemy was easy. Facing the consequences will not be. StarFire Dragons is a gritty, character-driven space opera in which the lines between good and evil blur and every side is the hero of its own story. In the Dragon Spawn galaxy, humanity has evolved, and in some places devolved, into strange new forms, some with remarkable abilities, none of them simple superheroes. Kirkus Reviews called it “a thoughtful novel that owes a debt to Star Trek but works on its own terms,” and readers have rated it 4.4 stars across more than a hundred ratings.

Dawn Ross blends tense starship action with a moving story about what it means to be raised as a weapon and still find your own humanity. It is the first book of the complete seven-book Dragon Spawn Chronicles, so readers who fall for these warriors can follow their journey all the way to the end. Available in ebook, paperback, and audiobook. Intended for adult readers: contains violence and strong language.
