The Sapphire Drake

THE SAPPHIRE DRAKE A farm boy with no magic. A dragon that cannot burn. Together, they will reshape the sky. Toby is a nobody. A simple valley farm boy who understands timber, cogs, and the quiet lessons of his father's workshop. But Toby carries a silent, dangerous curse: he is a "Null," a walking dead-zone where magic completely ceases to exist.His quiet life is shattered the day he discovers a glowing, dormant egg containing a Sapphire Drake-the first restorative dragon born in three thousand years. In a world ruled by the tyrannical, immortal Dragon Council, a beast that heals instead of destroys is an existential threat. They want the dragon dead, and they will burn the realm to make it happen.To survive, Toby must team up with an eccentric scholar who treats magic like high-pressure plumbing, a fierce elven healer, a gruff fire-smith, and a deadly canopy-ranger. Together, they must forge a legendary rebellion and master an impossible bond. Using a custom-forged metal breastplate to channel Toby's siphoning aura, farm boy and dragon must become the ultimate shield to shatter the magic of gods.The rebellion is rising. But in a war of soot, steel, and starlight, can a commoner and a wounded dragon truly build a home among the ashes?
