Skylark: The Dragon Lady
Raised by seafaring pirates, Belladonna Skylark has never known her family. But she’s about to discover her destiny—a binding prophecy that makes her want to run and hide.
Pirate Captain Starlene was the one person Belladonna considered a parent on the Zodiac, which makes the captain’s death all the more painful. The loss of Starlene thrusts Belladonna’s life into the changing winds of leadership as she takes over command of the pirate ship. But her new role as captain is only the first of many changes that turn her world upside-down.
Not only is she rushed into learning the ways of a true pirate captain, Belladonna then finds herself tied to a prophecy she must fulfill, and not without numerous tests to her strength and character.
As Belladonna and her crew search for the hidden Isla del Dragon, Cornelius Blackfoot lurks in the shadows, and creatures Belladonna has never known begin to surface, ones that both compel and aggravate her journey.
Facing a destiny she cannot change, a betrayal by someone dear, and the stirrings of love pulling her away, it’s clear that none of this was made to be easy—especially as Belladonna’s heart grows black and bitter. But her desire to shirk the prophecy’s call could spell catastrophe for more than just herself, making the cost of cowardice too heavy to bear.
Skylark: The Dragon Lady is an epic, immersive tale that features fantasy world-building and dynamic characters striving against fate’s machinations.

June 15, 2022This is normally not my type of book that I read. BUT it was awesome. I read the whole book in one day because I could not put it down. It got my attention from the very beginning. It kept my attention as I could not wait to see what happened at the end of the story. Definitely not what I expected. I hope this will be a series. Skylark The Dragon Lady is a must read!!!! I love mystery novels and this definitely had some mystery in it.

This feels like cheating since I wrote it, but giving it 5 stars as I now get ready to hand it off to the editor and I've got to say, I am very happy with this story. I cannot wait to share Belladonna with you all. ❤️

Fantastic story that sucks you right in from the get-go. It was so good I couldn’t put it down. If you love adventure, fantasy, and a good love story you’ll love Skylark. I can’t wait for book 2!

On a long flight to California, I picked up this book after having set it aside for some time. In the span of that plane ride, I devoured the entire last half Skylark. I was so drawn to the story and the characters that I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to the sequel and seeing what type of adventures Belladonna Skylark has ahead of her.
