Everyone knows dragons have disappeared and magic is fading. But when an orphan stumbles across a secret dragon egg, it soon becomes apparent... that what was once lost in the world may yet be found. When a railway magnate discovers a rare magical mineral under the temple she grew up in, Peri does all she can to save her home… and ends up stumbling across the last thing she expects to A dragon egg that calls to her alone. Magic and dragons have long been fading from the world. But Peri can’t just stand aside and allow the precious egg to be used for profit. So together with Roy, the handsome heir of Sterling Rails, and a talking goose called Salt, she goes on the run to seek sanctuary at the Golden Temple in their capital city. But the egg’s magic is no longer secret, and neither are Peri’s slowly surfacing magical abilities. Together, their magic draws out a secret society of magical folk from Kalin’s underworld, and sets in motion a sinister plot that threatens the highest echelons of power in the realm. Can Peri save her kingdom before it’s too late? And more importantly… does she have what it takes to hatch a dragon? Foundling is 98,000 words and is book one of a fast-paced epic fantasy series.

After rescuing a dragon egg and saving her king, Peri finds herself saddled with a mischievous baby dragon, and the center of attention in a nation in turmoil over the rise of magic. When an elven delegation from Thelanore is attacked en route to Kalin and the magical gift they brought for her dragon is scattered throughout the kingdom, King Thadeus assigns Peri a secret mission—retrieve the shattered dragonstone before its unstable magic throws Kalin further into chaos. Peri knows little about magic and less about dragons. But if she doesn’t learn fast, the dragonstone fragments may just be the last straw that burns her kingdom to the ground.

Peri and Wild have saved their kingdom, but at what price? The last thing Peri intended to do was to save Kalin only to hand it over to the elves. But when Prince Elsinor invades her kingdom and whisks her baby dragon to Thelanore, Peri is powerless to stop him. She can’t do magic without her dragon, after all… or can she? Meanwhile, Roy’s left to pick up the pieces after Peri's and Wild’s disappearance. All signs point to peace and prosperity between the elven and human kingdoms, but his gut tells him otherwise. When his heart leads him to Thelanore in search of Peri, he awakens a magical heritage he never knew he had, and ends up walking a path that will mold him into becoming one of the elven nation’s greatest fighters—a dragonknight. Peri and Roy are getting closer to the truth behind the dragons’ disappearance, and discovering powers they never expected to have. But the price of knowledge and power is high, and what they reveal could jeopardize more than their lives—the fate of the entire magical world may be at stake.
