The Path of Dragons Books in Order

The Path of Dragons returns to the wider universe of Path of the Ranger but tells its story from the other side of the scales. Instead of following human Rangers, it focuses on the dragon lords who rule another world and on the young people forced to serve them.

The central character is Nahia, a fifteen year old human with dragon blood in her veins. In Flameborn she lives in Kraido, a land where eight different races have been conquered and enslaved by tyrannical dragons. Those who manifest the Power are sent to Drakoros, a brutal martial academy where a wrong look or a hint of weakness can mean death.

Life at Drakoros is a relentless mix of weapons training, magic classes, and ruthless competition. In Elemental Power and Golden Magic, Nahia struggles to keep her secret vulnerabilities hidden while she forms a squad with recruits from other races. Together they are beaten into becoming weapons for the dragon lords even as the first sparks of rebellion spread through the student body.

Beyond the academy walls, the dragon kings have discovered a new world to conquer, a place its inhabitants call Tremia. As the series continues through Dragon Rider, Deadly Rescue, Bold Plan and beyond, Nahia and her allies are drawn into that wider war. Dragon squadrons, desert tribes, gryphons, and the Snow Panthers from Path of the Ranger all become part of the same growing conflict.

The tone mixes school story tension, large scale battles, and the unease of living under constant surveillance. Themes of identity, duty, and resistance run through the books as Nahia decides whether she will be simply another weapon for the dragons or something far more dangerous to them.

You can read The Path of Dragons on its own, but readers already familiar with Tremia and the Rangers will enjoy the way plots and characters echo across both sagas as the fight against dragon rule spreads.
