One winner will receive Books 1, 2, and 3 in the Dragonslayer series by Resa Nelson – all books will be signed! Astrid lives in a world of ghosts, shapeshifters, and dragons. Astrid sees herself as a monster because she’s covered from head to toe with scars, a painful reminder of having been chewed up and spit out by a dragon. We meet Astrid in childhood, but she grows up to become a blacksmith who makes swords for her sweetheart, the dragonslayer. When he goes missing, her world turns upside down. Everything Astrid knows to be true is called into question when she learns the truth about her past and the mysterious family that gave her away to a childseller so many years ago. With the fate of dragons, ghosts, and slaves in foreign lands suddenly resting on her shoulders, Astrid faces the challenge of deciding who she is and how she will stand up inside her own skin. Appropriate for adults and teens (ages 14 and up). If you like female characters who are smart, strong, and courageous (think The Hunger Games), you’ll like the Dragonslayer series. Book 1 (The Dragonslayer’s Sword) was nominated for the Nebula Award and was also a finalist for the EPPIE Award.
