Wyvern's Gold

Why Read This?

A brilliantly constructed post-apocalyptic world where dragons are genetically modified humanoids and a woman escapes religious cult indoctrination. Zero spice but the worldbuilding is stunning, the FMC growth is genuine, and the slow-burn why-choose setup is worth the patience.

Synopsis

Dragons are a myth. Heroes are a reality. Six hundred years ago, humans retreated underground. Our Elders said our sins were why. Ever since, the battle between Heaven and Hell has raged on Earth's surface. Only becoming truly righteous can save us. It was a lie. Stories of dragons willing to devour us and wild men who will torture us keep the population in line. For twenty years, all I'd heard was how the surface was filled with horrors - that's why our hunters always return wounded. God does not consider us ready yet. It. Was. A. Lie! They've beaten me down until the only option left is death. Sacrificed to the dragons, I expect monsters from legends. Instead, I learn the truth. Dragons are people. Massive, strange, dangerous people. My only hope is to push aside everything I've been taught and learn to embrace who I really am. A daughter. A woman. Not just a healer but also a warrior! I was chained out to die, but I will survive. One way or another, I will find a way to stop all the lies. Because monsters are real. They just aren't the ones I expected. ** Wyvern's Gold is a 200,000 word novel and the start to an epic series. **
