Signorina's Dragon: Prequel to the Dragonriders of Fiorenza

by Melinda R. Cordell

On the darkest day of her life, Fia is unable to stop her best friend, Neva, from being driven out of town with her family into exile, and she sees her beloved grandfather killed at the hands of a screaming mob while trying to defend the girls. The next day, her father reveals a priceless gift that they’d taken from the army of the exiles – a wounded war dragon, now wrapped in chains and furious at its captors and sitting in her father’s farmyard. Now Fia is determined to raise and help this dragon, in hopes that she might someday be able to fly into the world and find Neva – just as long as the dragon doesn’t kill her first. Signorina’s Dragon is a prequel to the DRAGONRIDERS OF FIORENZA series, taking place eight years before the first book opens.
