Rise of the Black Dragon Books in Order

As Ukrah trains to become a dragon rider, the hatching of her unusual dragon transforms an already uncertain future. Discovering her identity and purpose becomes harder as new obstacles confront a destiny she still does not fully understand.

Gifted with unexplained magic, Ukrah flees people who would enslave her and seeks a legendary dragon rider. A talking bird and a young man accompany her journey toward the only person who might help her understand her power.

Welcomed among the heroes who defeated the Blight, Ukrah begins training as a dragon rider despite having no dragon. Enemies seeking to exploit or destroy her force her to master dangerous magic before it consumes her or harms her friends.

Learning the truth about returning spirits, Ukrah and her companions set out to protect them and their world. The quest instead delivers the group toward its enemies, forcing them to prevent the spirits' rebirth from becoming a weapon.

The old gods have returned, but others seek to awaken an older evil and plunge the world into chaos. Ukrah's attempt to unite spirits and their human vessels appears promising until betrayal threatens the alliance and everyone within it.

Ukrah and her companions discover that their struggle belongs to an ancient cycle that cannot be won through ordinary battle. As time folds around them, they must alter past, present, and future to save those they love.

Ukrah's attempt to protect the old gods' vessels has failed, and their resurrection brings disastrous consequences. Escaping a trusted friend's betrayal becomes the first step toward repairing the damage, though saving the world may demand an unbearable price.

Ukrah and her friends discover that ancient gods are returning through human vessels, then learn how dangerous that knowledge makes them. Understanding her destiny becomes inseparable from avoiding those who would imprison her and exploit her growing power.
