Dragon Heat: Air Dragons, Book 1

by Charlene Hartnady

About this book

Azure has spent her life believing she is destined for solitude. As an infertile dragon female in a tribe desperate for offspring, she has long been overlooked in favor of human women who can secure the species' future. She has found peace in her independence and her vital role as a hunter, content to enjoy casual flings without the burden of expectations. But when her first heat cycle triggers, the dynamic shifts violently. Suddenly, the very males who ignored her are swarming, desperate to claim her.

Furious at their hypocrisy and tired of being treated as a biological necessity rather than a person, Azure finds herself at odds with her king. Ordered to select a mate before her heat ends, she must navigate a volatile political landscape where her body has become the tribe’s most precious resource. What follows is a high-stakes paranormal romance that explores themes of belonging and reclamation.

At its heart, this story thrives on the found-family trope, showcasing the intense, protective bonds of the dragon tribe. If you are a fan of steamy, high-fantasy romance where internal longing meets external pressure, this addictive series opener offers the perfect escape into a world of winged warriors and fierce, defiant heroines.

His mate, his future…

August 15, 2021

Will he let his chance pass … With the Program Series and the Bride Hunt and its sequels are my favorite. So I am much happy to be back on Dragon territory. Plus it was so good to have a change of heroes, and outside A Mate for Kai, there has been no other story starring a female dragon. She-dragons were not classically portrayed as nice girls, outside the elders or healers, they were more mean bitches than kind women. Threatened by the appeal the human females had on their males, it is not...

Azure and Ice

August 15, 2021

***POTENTIAL SPOILERS INCLUDED*** It seems that almost every couple Hartnady writes, ends up being my favourite. At least until the next couple! What gives Azure the edge for me is how she was fine with not reproducing. I get very excited whenever I stumble across a character that is childfree since the narrative for happily ever after too often includes children. That's not everyone's idea of happy. Although there is a bit of a cliffhanger with potential for Azure and Ice to have kids, so...

A Dragon's cycle of love.

I loved the story, it was amazing in that it featured the common problems of fertility and the changes in cycles. It also featured the sensitive topic of rape which was well done. The romance was also done tastefully with sensitivity for a female's feelings. Kudos to the author.😉😇 )

BAB finished first!

July 14, 2025

Wanting to be valued for who and what you are is every persons desire in a relationship. But in reality it’s the surface, the wrapping, what the other can get out of the relationship that draws them in in the first place. Often times the people of true value are over looked. What I loved about this story is they bring attention to someone of value that has been overlooked her whole life and show her what she already knew in her heart. She is a BAB and she need to own it and realize her worth...
