Novice Dragoneer
In the first book in an exciting and charming new coming-of-age fantasy series from the author of the Age of Fire series, an impoverished girl enters into a military order of dragonriders, but her path won't be as easy or as straightforward as she expected.
Fourteen-year-old Ileth grew up in an orphanage, and thanks to her stutter was never thought to be destined for much beyond kitchen work and cleaning. But she's dreamed of serving with the dragons ever since a childhood meeting with a glittering silver dragon and its female dragoneer. For years she waits, and as soon as she is old enough to join, Ileth runs away to become a novice dragoneer at the ancient human-dragon fortress of the Serpentine.
While most of her fellow apprentices are from rich and influential families, Ileth must fight for her place in the world, even if it includes a duel with her boss at the fish-gutting table. She's then sent off to the dragon-dancers after a foolish kiss with a famously named boy and given charge of a sickly old dragon with a mysterious past. But she finds those trials were nothing when she has to take the place of a dead dragoneer and care for his imprisoned dragon in enemy lands...

E. E. Knight
E.E. Knight writes the kind of speculative fiction that refuses to sit still. His work straddles the line between post-apocalyptic survival and high-stakes fantasy, laced with dry wit, rich world-building, and characters who endure—not because they’re invincible, but because they refuse to give in. Whether he's chronicling humanity’s last stand in the Vampire Earth series or sending dragons into the unknown in Age of Fire, Knight has a knack for weaving genre elements into something that feels both familiar and entirely his own.
