Dragon Rider's Song

By Meyari McFarland

Young dragon rider Amynta returned to her senator mother Timo's home expecting conflict, the possibility of good food and a very nice bath. Instead she found the lovely Pallas, a mysterious visitor to her mother's home.

Dinner brought a request that Amynta hadn't expected along with possibilities that Amynta had given up on years ago. Perhaps with Pallas' help Amynta might fly beyond her mother's domain to make her own life.

Dragon Rider's Song is a sweet fantasy romance between two young women whose lives revolve around dragons and the songs they use to communicate.

Dragon Rider's Song

By Meyari McFarland

Finally, Timo sighed. "And if you could manage to remember your etiquette before dinner, it would be even more appreciated. We civilized folk have manners unlike your dragon riding friends, you know."

The insinuation that Amynta wasn't as serious about dragon riding as Timo was about her work in the senate made Amynta's teeth clench. It was always this way. No matter what Amynta did, it wasn't good enough. Even when she had tried to follow in her mother's footsteps all Timo had for her was scorn, disapproval and 'lessons' about how far she was from perfection.

Amynta kicked aside her greaves with a sigh of relief that she didn't bother to hide. Breastplate, pauldron and the heavy leather coat that protected her from dragon fire and freezing at altitude went next. She paused at the threshold of the kitchen to unlace her heavy boots so that she could kick them off.

Oh.

The low musical word startled Amynta enough that she lost her balance and toppled to the red, yellow and blue painted tiles. A sea foam green floor-length stola filled her eyes as she swept her gaze upwards to a delicate burnt umber hand adorned by slender gold rings. The lovely young woman had a pair of laughing golden-brown eyes framed by perfect chestnut curls.

Ah, hello? Amynta said as she scrambled back to her feet. "Sorry, I didn't know that Mother, I mean Timo, I mean Senator
