Threats far more dangerous than dragons wander the dance floor of the Dragon Keeper’s Cotillion.
*” A top fun comfort read.”~ *Gail Carriger
The defining moment of Margaret Dashwood’s social life, the Dragon Keeper’s Cotillion, the most significant event of Blue Order society, looms large on the horizon. Well-recognized as an excellent dancer, Margaret should have nothing to fear. Unless, of course, her Friend Snuff unleashes his own brand of mayhem in London with his hoarding addiction.
But Snuff is the least of the Blue Order’s problems. Blue Order auditor, decidedly staid and dull, Miles Bexley and his Friend Half Wing travel to Exeter to deal with missing dragons, smuggling, and even worse crimes against dragonkind, and find themselves at Colonel Brandon’s doorstep for help in the investigations.
Half Wing’s instant attraction to Margaret and Snuff draws the two, known for innocence and silliness in equal measure, into matters they are not prepared to understand, much less deal with.
Or are they?
Is it possible, Half Wing identified the most sensible person in Bexley’s acquaintance, the one whose help he most needs for his investigations—and his life?
With danger mounting and threats closing in, can Bexley and Margaret prove themselves more capable than what society expects? With only the safety of the Blue Order and a chance at future happiness at stake, they must rise to the occasion or lose everything they hold dear.
Though Rebecca’s a Master of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, that isn’t much help when it comes to managing her own life.
The Wright Guild’s recent decision to admit women was exactly what Master Full Wright Rebecca Fuller had hoped for. Perhaps now she could get back to teaching her students, running her shop, avoiding the Guild’s interference in her life, and planning her wedding to David.
But the Queen steps in and everything falls apart. Faced with impossible demands, the Guild must do what it hates most—cooperate and change—and everyone must play their part. Tucked away with her students and an unexpected mentor, will her unconventional skills be enough to craft what the Queen requires?
Guild Secretary, Master Full Wright David Enright would much rather be helping Rebecca than navigating the procedural and legal morass surrounding the Guild. But that seems the only way to put an end to the bickering and satisfy the Queen’s orders. Once again, it’s not his skill as a Wright, but his unique expertise as a barrister, that the Guild requires—good for the Guild, difficult on one’s ego.
But when the Guild Conclave doesn’t like what he has to say, disgruntled Wrights turn desperate, willing to do the unthinkable to maintain their centuries-old ways of life. With everything and everyone he holds dear endangered, will he be enough to turn the Wrights a new way?

Myths older than most of the settled worlds of the Kayavan System warn that when the Kayavan comet appears, storms will upset the balance of power.
The part about the comet signaling fierce storms was true enough, as to the rest? It made for entertaining media feeds but wasn’t enough to stop the biggest sporting event in the system—Lighten’s Ring Fighting Championships.
Arilyn Lysand, one of Lighten’s most talented pilots, has a fraught relationship with the Transport Guild Master, preventing her from achieving much of anything. Skirting the edges of Transport Guild rules isn’t exactly the way to get out of her dead-end job at the Ship Yard. But she’s ready to use whatever she can to her advantage, and when forced to fly the Guild Master to the Championships, she plans to use the opportunity to make new connections and improve her prospects.
Lord Heir Matteo Sennet, heir to the largest Clan on Dextra, struggles with his own fraught relationship with his grandfather, Lord Timnon. Sent to the Championships to rub shoulders and make connections on behalf of his Clan, he has his own intentions in mind, plans which will require hiring a pilot once he gets to Lighten.
Flying Matteo on his personal errand starts off as a simple side job for Ari, but quickly unravels into a tangle of danger, unexpected alliances, and political intrigue destined to change the future of the entire Kayavan System. A storm worthy of Kayavan’s Rising.

2025 The Year of the Plot Twist
As I look back on 2025, I think the best way to describe it is the Year of the Plot Twist, both literally and figuratively.
