WHO OWNS THE SKY?

When oligarchs control the space program, is piracy a virtue?

While trillionaires jockey for control of space resources and rogue AIs prowl the Internet, a dangerous alien technology—the Fracture—has fallen into the hands of space pirates who have no idea what they stole. Unfortunately, law and order are hard to come by when you’re a million miles from Earth.

Meanwhile, the balance of power, already precarious, has tumbled Cislunar space into an undeclared war. Now, in a race against time, the crew of the CV Defender must track the pirates to their lair before the Fracture destroys the entire Solar System. But in a world this complex, who, exactly are the good guys?

Praise for Rise from Ruin:
“Melissa Olthoff is a fantasy master like no other. Rise from Ruin is a fun-filled tour de force and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Dragons have never been so fun!”
—Sherrilyn Kenyon, author of the New York Times best-selling Dark-Hunters series.
 
“In Rise from Ruin, Melissa Olthoff brings a new twist to dragonrider tales. Olthoff creates not only a believable and immersive world, but populates it with people whom you can respect, understand, care for, and sometimes want to punch in the face. I love the camaraderie between the dragon and griffin corps.”
—Jody Lynn Nye, New York Times best-selling author
 
“[V]ery reminiscent of Anne McCaffery’s Dragon Riders of Pern and Mercedes Lackey’s The Black Gryphon, in all the best ways. . . . a fast-paced book, with elements of romance, coming-of-age, military, fantasy, and even bits of SciFi. . . . a fun read . . .”
—Kal Spriggs
 
“The Fourth Wing meets Dragonriders of Pern.”
—Edie Skye
 

YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING RIGHT . . . AND STILL LOSE 

Harper Tavros always dreamed of being a dragon rider. But after a prank went horribly wrong—she ended up bonded to an utterly ridiculous and insanely brave griffin instead. A bond that can only be broken in death. Together, Harper and Felix graduated the Tennessan Bonded Training Academy and proved themselves during their first six months on active duty even as the war with Savinia heated up. Now, every mission is more dangerous than the last.

Griffin riders are the eyes and ears of the Tennessan military, an advantage unmatched ever since their enemy’s griffin riders vanished from the battlefield years ago. So when a dying Savinian griffin shows up at a Tennessan fort, Harper and Felix are dispatched to retrieve the message she carries—a plea for help from Savinia’s last griffin riders.

A plea Tennessan can’t afford to ignore.

Harper and Felix are assigned to the team tasked with unraveling the mystery of Savinia’s griffins. Their mission will take them deep behind enemy lines and into the dreaded Southern Smoke Mountains. After everything goes wrong, Harper and Felix will be pushed to their limits. When every choice leads into the fire, their only option is to burn . . . and let the flames temper them into something stronger.
