Ashen Dreams (Burning Stars, #1)

Virith is a halfbreed. Half Skagvaldian dragon, half Erdethian dragon. Growing up, she struggles with her identity and to find peace with both sides of herself that are in conflict. Skagvaldian dragons have a rich warrior culture, and to her, Erdethian dragons are tame and domesticated.

As Virith grows older, she begins to question more about her role in the world as hidden threats begin to creep from the shadows. To combat these threats, Virith must achieve the rank of Valkyrie, the highest warrior rank in Skagvaldian culture. With the influence and power behind such a title, she can more effectively protect her home.

But things are not quite as they seem, and the threat constantly mutates every time she encounters it...
