Blood of Drakgar: Bound by Freedom

Rebels, Dragons, and Destiny—A Slow-Burn Sci-Fi Fantasy Romance (Book 1)

The Dominion rules. The rebels bleed. The extremists burn. And the Drakgar are awakening.

The galaxy is crumbling under the Dominion’s rule. Worshiping a Sentient AI Core as a god, the Dominion crushes all who resist. The rebels fight for freedom, while the extremists will burn the galaxy to end the Dominion’s reign.

Rakasa wants no part of their war. As a former slave and pit fighter, her freedom is the only thing she’ll burn the stars to protect. But when her mentor is captured, she’s thrust into a mission with a rogue smuggler whose secrets could ruin them both.

What was supposed to be a simple job shatters into chaos. The deeper Rakasa dives into the mission, the more she senses a connection to the force buried within her bloodline—a power both deadly and divine.

Now, hunted by the Dominion, shadowed by rebels, and stalked by extremists, Rakasa must choose: keep running from what she is—or embrace it and carve her own fate.

Read if you like Red Rising–scale rebellion, Ann Aguirre’s Grimspace, Jessie Mihalik’s slow-burn SFR, and dragon-shifter myth threaded through sci-fi.

Expect: space-opera stakes, found family, gladiator-to-smuggler grit, and a series-long romance that starts here as a slow spark and builds in Books 2–3.
