The Dragon Sands #3
Serpentine Risen
Fate has a wicked heart.
A dragon has returned to the skies, the first of its kind in centuries. Kera has fulfilled her prophecy as The Dragon’s Breath, by hatching the dragon Herradax. But one dragon won’t be able to keep them safe from the gods and their armies— they must find a way to get more dragons.
In a twist of fate, Lilaci and Kera are now joined by the commander of the Scaethers, Veranor. With his help they won their last battle, and Kera trusts him to help protect her, but will Lilaci? Veranor is the one that wiped Lilaci’s memory and ordered her family’s killing. Will this alliance that hangs from a thread last, or will it tear them apart?
Serpentine Risen, the third book in the Dragon Sands Series, is a Dark YA fantasy novel full of magic, dragons and heart-racing drama. Author C.K. Rieke throws Lilaci and Kera back into the fire in this tale of triumph and loss. After all, the desert is an unforgiving place, and the more the heart yearns for love, the deeper the pain when it's lost.

About the author
C.K. Rieke
39 books15 followersC.K. Rieke, though he constantly dreams of oceans and mountains, was born and lives in Kansas. Art and storytelling were his passions, beginning with “Where the Wild Things Are” and Shel Silverstein. That grew into a love of comic books and fantasy novels. He always dreamed of creating his own worlds through the brush and keyboard.
Throughout his college years, Rieke ventured into the realm of indie comics, illustrating and co-plotting stories that hinted at the epic narratives to come. But it wasn’t until his early thirties, inspired by the works of fantasy luminaries, that he turned his hand to writing his own tales. The labor of love that was “The Road to Light,” painstakingly crafted over two years, marked his debut into the literary world under the guidance of a revered editor.
Within the pages of his novels, Rieke spins tales of daring adventure and intricate character arcs that ensnare the heart. Yet, be warned, dear reader, for his pen is not without its blade—occasionally, beloved characters meet their untimely demise, prompting fans to pen letters of both torment and anguish.
C.K. Rieke is pronounced C.K. ‘Ricky’.

Excellent book! Love the progression of the coming wars. The new players on the field are very interesting and of course the gods are becoming fearful.
