The Last Rift Dragon
The City of Bridgehaven is under attack.
The nation to the west intends to murder Bridgehaven’s last three remaining dragons, rendering them extinct. They’ll stop at nothing to crush the eggs, flay the dragons, and burn Bridgehaven to the ground.
But Richter Whitlock is determined to make sure that doesn’t happen. He joins the Knights of the Silver Fog—individuals dedicated to protecting Bridgehaven, and the dragons, at all costs—in the hopes of caring for a fragile dragon egg, so that one day he may bond and fight back.
But there are traitors in Bridgehaven, and enemies are circling close.
If Richter hopes to save his home, and his egg, he’ll have to master his magic, learn to craft magitech, and become one of the greatest Knights anyone has ever seen…

Shami Stovall
In a world where magic and myth meet sharp intellect and historical nuance, Shami Stovall stands out as a voice that knows how to twist the familiar into something entirely unexpected. Whether she’s breathing new life into war-torn battlefields or crafting magical academies from scratch, her stories pulse with a vibrant energy—equal parts heart, grit, and wonder.
Raised in Salt Lake City and grounded in a deep love of history and law, Stovall brings a thoughtful, richly layered approach to fantasy and science fiction. Her background—teaching history and criminal law after earning a BA in History and a Juris Doctorate—adds a distinctive texture to her worlds. The politics, conflicts, and character choices in her books often echo real-world dilemmas, but they’re refracted through the lens of griffins, arcanists, and ancient powers long buried.

Reviews and Comments
This Book Skips Straight to the Good Stuff
The Last Rift Dragon takes a very common story, skips over the parts we already know, then slams us with several surprises.
In Tamora Pierce's The Song of the Lioness, Alanna becomes a knight in book 3 of the series. In the Protector of the Small quartet, the pattern repeats, and Kel becomes a knight at the beginning of book 4. However, in The Last Rift Dragon, chapter one starts with what would normally be the 3/4 point of Richter's coming-of-age story: the final exam that determines which of the seven finalists will get to choose an egg first, immediately prior to becoming a knight.
