A warrior reborn. A dragon awakened. A world on the edge of extinction.
Kristy London died on Earth.
What she didn’t expect … was to wake up young again in a mystical world where dragons once ruled the skies.
Reborn as Rani, she finds herself in the ancient Dragon Keep of Jubrozan alongside the only thing that carried over from her old life—her fiercely loyal K 9 partner, Kula. But this world is not at peace. Dragons have vanished, their riders fallen to a shadowed corruption that destroyed an entire civilization.
Now the gods—known as the Duwiau—have chosen her to rebuild it.
As the newly named Master Dragon Rider, Rani must train a new generation of riders and form impossible bonds with newly hatched dragons. And unite a fractured people who no longer trust the very power meant to protect them.
But something deeper is awakening.
An ancient evil buried at the heart of the world has begun to stir—twisting dragons into monstrous forms, poisoning the land, and spreading a deadly corruption through the sacred bond between rider and dragon.
Outnumbered. Outmatched. And haunted by a lifetime of loss…
Rani must lead anyway.
Because if she fails, the dragons fall again—and this time, the world won’t survive it.
✨ Perfect for readers who love:
• Dragon rider epics and immersive fantasy worlds
• Military-trained heroines and strong female leads

“Jubrozan Dragon Riders by Karen L. West is a compelling blend of epic fantasy and emotional character-driven storytelling. The novel follows Kristy London, a seventy-five-year-old veteran reborn as Rani in a world of dragons. She must rebuild a lost order of riders and confront an ancient evil tied to the very heart of the planet. What sets this story apart is its unique protagonist. Rani’s lived experience, resilience, and grief give the narrative a grounded emotional depth rarely seen in traditional dragon-rider tales. Her bond with both her dragon, Abellona, and her loyal K 9 companion Kula adds warmth and authenticity, anchoring the high-stakes fantasy in real human connection. The world-building is vivid and immersive, with striking imagery—from glowing dragon eggs and ancient keeps to corrupted creatures shaped by the shadow blight. The central conflict evolves from mystery into a larger existential threat, revealing that the “plague” is only a symptom of something far more dangerous beneath the Heart of Jubrozan. Overall, Jubrozan Dragon Riders is an engaging and imaginative journey that will appeal to readers who enjoy dragon-centered fantasy with strong emotional stakes and a mature, character-driven perspective.”
Dan
Writer of Fantasy, Shifters, Apocalyptic, Space Fiction
I write stories for readers who love adventure, survival, transformation, and hope — no matter the world the story takes place in. My books span fantasy, science fiction, apocalyptic and end‑of‑the‑world stories, shifter tales, and young adult adventures. What connects them all is a focus on characters pushed to their limits, unexpected bonds, and the choices people make when the rules of their world change — or disappear entirely. Whatever the genre my stories fall into, my goal is always the same: to tell immersive, emotionally grounded stories where courage, loyalty, and resilience matter. Living in the Southwest, I continue to write stories that blend imagination with realism, danger with hope, and adventure with heart.
