SOLVED. Late 90s/early 00s fantasy book saga with dragons and steampunk war machines. [s]

[Nejc]

I remember reading a a fantasy book series (I believe it had 5 if not more books in the series) about dragons and steampunk war machines. It was in the late 90s/early 00s, but the realease date could have been before that, since it was a translated version.

Genre: Fantasy/Steampunk
Plot: I remember that it started on some sort of a dragon farm and it involved at least two people (both young/young adults), one female and the other male. I believe they were both dragon riders. The farm got attacked and they ran away with dragons. I think there was a steampunk war machine like fighting in the desert as well.

Maybe take a look at Joust and it's sequels by Mercedes Lackey?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to be the one I'm looking for.

Could it possibly be the Pit Dragon novels, by Jane Yolen?

The series begins with Dragon's Blood, which is about a young slave who hides away a 'mute' dragon in the hopes to find his freedom. Eventually, he's joined by his owner's daughter, so that could be the female lead you remember!

I don't remember anything about a war machine, but it's been a good while since I've read them.

As for steampunk and dragons, I've never read this series, but I've had Temeraire recced to me a billion times, so that might be it??

Definitely not Temeraire.

This is NOT your book, but is in the theme, _The Iron Dragon's Daughter_.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I managed to find it in the library, it's called Broken Sky by Chris Wooding. Apparently there's no digital version of it either, which is a shame.

Broken Sky: #01 for the link.

You should also change the subject line / title to start "SOLVED: [then your existing title]" which helps people still find your request later.

Solved requests are almost as important as unsolved requests (eg - So don't delete your info :D Otherwise it looks like this, which completely doesn't show how you generated *so* much interest for your book.)
