E.E. Knight (Author)
The series follows the adventures of three dragon siblings. The three siblings are separated early in life by an attack on their home cave. In the fantasy setting of the novels, dragon population has been dwindling as relations among the many races worsen. Humans especially are becoming the dominant species, but there are still powerful factions of dwarves, elves and other sentient species.
The first three books are written from a different sibling's point of view and occur simultaneously. They are stand-alone novels that are accessible without having read the other two.
Dragon Champion (Book 1)
Perspective: AuRon
Dragon Champion follows AuRon (Auron), the youngest male and clutchwinner. After being separated from Wistala, he is captured and sold to humans buying dragon hatchlings. He escapes and sets forth to seek dragon NooMoahk because of a hint of dragonkind's supposed fatal weakness. AuRon studies under NooMoahk for a time and then comes to rule a small kingdom of the local blighters. However, the blighter ruler he had installed is killed by rivals who wish to lead all blighters to war against the humans. AuRon comes to learn of the Wyrmmaster who believes in human supremacy and wishes to wipe out the other races. The blighter war was instigated by him to destroy humans who oppose his plan. The Wyrmmaster is so named because he uses dragons to fight his wars; it was to him AuRon would have been sold to. AuRon volunteers and infiltrates to serve the Wyrmmaster and finds the "fatal" weakness of dragons: the fact that they imprint upon the first creature they see upon hatching and can then be tamed. The book ends with AuRon's successful dragon uprising on the island.
Dragon Champion covers a larger span of time than either of the other first three books.
Dragon Avenger (Book 2)
Perspective: Wistala
Dragon Avenger follows Wistala, the sole surviving female. After being separated from Auron, and nearly drowning, she is rescued by a kindhearted elf named Rainfall who becomes an adoptive father to the orphan. She later travels with a circus as a fortune teller and wins favor with a dwarf ruler named Gobold Fangbreaker, the same dwarf responsible for the murder of her parents. She manipulates his downfall from a position of trust, instigating a war between the dwarves and the human barbarians of the north and then sabotaging said dwarves.
Dragon Avenger spans the least amount of time of the first three books, following Wistala's first 14 years or so.
Dragon Outcast (Book 3)
Perspective: the Copper (RuGaard)
Dragon Outcast follows the copper as he explores the lower world. Meeting with bats and dwarves, he makes his way to a community of dragons in the Lavadome, where he is named Rugaard. Rugaard deals with politics and hominids, and searches for his place in a world of treachery. He is eventually named Tyr (king) of the Lavadome dragons.
Nearly all of Dragon Outcast takes place in the lower world.
Dragon Strike (Book 4)
Perspective: AuRon, Wistala and the Copper (RuGaard)
A mysterious plague sweeps through Lavadome forcing upon RuGaard a decision that could save or bring an end to dragon kind. Meanwhile, Wistala sets off to find AuRon and winds up falling down a deep well during a fight. Wistala is captured by Demen and becomes their "ambassador" with the Tyr of the Lavadome. Auron leaves the Isle of Ice to find Wistala and find gold for his hatchlings. Eventually their different paths merge, bringing them together to confront their common foe, the Red Queen. Dragon Strike is the fourth book, but the sequel to the first three books.
Dragon Rule (Book 5)
Perspective: AuRon, Wistala and the Copper (RuGaard)
Wistala, sister to the Copper who is now Emperor of the Upper World, has long thought humans the equal of dragons. She leads the Firemaids, fierce female fighting dragons who support the Hominids of Hypatia. Which puts her at odds with both her brothers, for the Copper has no use for the humans he now dominates, and AuRon, the rare scaleless grey, would isolate himself and his family from both the world of men and the world of dragons. Dragon Rule is the fifth book and was released on the 1st December 2009.
