Grounded Sky

Dustyn lives as an ordinary teen in a typical village, doing everyday things. But when he stumbles upon a newly hatched dragon, Sky, his life changes in ways he could never have imagined. A bonding occurs, a unique connection that comes with a price: Sky is grounded, unable to fly, and vulnerable to those who seek to harm her kind.

To shield Sky from his dragon-slayer father, Dustyn embarks on an expedition to escort the baby dragon to her mountain home. Yet he’s not alone: a group of loyal animal companions aids Dustyn and Sky—the wise wolf, Buck, the clever raven, Virgil, and the spirited horse, Blaze. And Tera, an irritable witch with a tragic past, reluctantly joins the group at her mysterious mother’s bidding.

The journey challenges Dustyn like never before. Ruthless enemies chase them, for they crave what Sky possesses: her unique “crystal growths” and skin sheddings. For regular folks, such items are worth a lot of coin; for magic users, they offer something … more. Which answers the question of why a ruthless sorcerer is also hot on their trail, intent on claiming Sky for his own.

When he encounters the enigmatic and powerful beings known as the Clerics, Dustyn delves deeper into his magical abilities and the mystical world around him. Will he, though, feel compelled to acknowledge his past and leave those he loves behind? Or should he find his own way, live his own life?

Set in an enchanting and action-packed landscape filled with danger and wonder, “Grounded Sky” is a high-stakes adventure that illustrates the power of love and loyalty.
