Ochre Dragon

A looming cataclysm. An army of enemies. Can Merindah, Ali and Dee outwit devious deities, dragons, and their prophesied destiny to save their worlds?

On Heavens Gate, a dying planet where magic and science have forged an uneasy alliance, Merindah is desperate to unlock the secret of the Timegates and rescue what's left of humanity. What she lacks in magical ability, she more than makes up for in ambition. With the help of an impatient and not-so-extinct dragon, her magic takes on a twist with cosmic implications.

Meanwhile, on tech-ruled post-Crack Earth, where magic doesn't officially exist, Ali's humdrum life under the disintegrating Melba Dome is becoming weirder by the day. Her fingers start glowing, a snarky dragon shows up, and people she thought were her friends keep trying to control, kidnap or assassinate her.

Finally, on Reverie, where magic rules unfettered, a young orphan becomes burdened with tainted magical gifts. Dee is alone, trapped in a waking nightmare. When she finally surrenders to desperation, her out-of-control magic unleashes her dragon and propels her onto a path that could unravel the fabric of time and space.

Three women, three worlds, and their time is running out. Unless Merindah, Ali, and Dee can reunite their single soul in one year, all is lost. They must each make unimaginable sacrifices to become the Key, the Gatekeeper, and the Fire who will save the Cosmos - or ignite Armageddon.
