Talon

This novel plunges readers into a hidden world where ancient dragons walk among humans, capable of shapeshifting into human form. The story primarily follows Ember, a fiery young dragon newly integrated into Talon, a powerful organization dedicated to controlling and concealing dragonkind's existence. Raised within Talon's strict doctrines, Ember is trained to be an agent, expected to uphold their secretive agenda. However, her world begins to fracture when she encounters Garret, a dedicated member of the Order of the Dragonsbane, a human group sworn to eradicate dragons. Simultaneously, she meets Riley, a rogue dragon who has abandoned Talon, representing a rebellion against the established order. The core of the narrative revolves around the escalating conflict between these opposing forces: Talon's secretive control, the Dragonsbane's extermination efforts, and the rebels' fight for freedom. Ember finds herself caught between loyalty to her dragon heritage, the dangerous allure of forbidden human connection, and the emerging realization that Talon's mission might be morally corrupt. Themes of identity, the struggle between one's true nature and societal expectations, and the complex dynamics of prejudice and potential understanding are explored as Ember navigates her dangerous path. The book is compelling due to its fast-paced action, the inherent drama of dragons living in hiding, and the intertwined romantic tensions that complicate the high-stakes war for survival.
