Book 1 of the Dragonfate series. Debts and balance are everything to dragons. In a world where a misstep can make a dragon a slave to the nearest opportunist, where Ruby Dragons are feared and hated as the worst of the evil, half-Ruby Kyaza has lived a life built on distrust and violence. When the ancient magic of Dragonfate enslaves him yet again, he is thrust against his will among humans with the command to do what he has sworn he will never do again: to kill. However, when he is suddenly indebted to Hallen, the human boy he was meant to kill, things get complicated. Though Kyaza cannot bring himself to trust a human, and though Hallen hates Ruby Dragons above all else, a magic even deeper than the slavery of Dragonfate binds them. Their lives are vastly different, the rift between their histories unbreachable; and yet, as the malice of both humans and dragons closes in on them, they must learn to work together . . . or die.

Buy Dragon Gold and join Eva and her dolphins on their adventures today! A Reedsy FIVE Star Must read 🏆Book! Eco-thriller with dolphins, a marine biologist, and her friends who are up against a villain and his mega-yacht "The book was well-paced and a very fun read. It will appeal to readers who enjoy eco-fiction and/or thrillers. There is even some romance to round out the layers of this book. My favorite part about this story, though, was the dolphins. They are the coolest part of the book, especially Cleo and the role she plays. She is able to follow multi-step directions and during her POV chapters, she shows her ability to think through problems. For readers who love reading horse books, they may get a kick out of the Order of the Dolphin books." — Rachel Barnard, Reedsy Reviews What readers are saying about Dragon Gold: “The Order of the Dolphin series by Kristie Clark keeps getting better in Dragon Gold.” “…Thrilling, full of action, and contained high stakes.” “…As fast paced and as exciting as Book 1.” “…A touch of ecology, giving back to the world that gives us life, cancer research, Naval bits and pieces, fish farming, genetic engineering, kidnapping and murder, and Kristie Clark ties it all together in an amazeballs package.” Dragon Gold is for readers who enjoy action and adventure, science fiction, thrillers, suspense, romance subplots, ecologic themes, genetic engineering science fiction, technothrillers, climate change fiction, dinosaur thriller book, book with theme about protection, dolphins and dragons, want to read about a wholphin, cryptozoology, Caribbean scuba thrillers, sea stories and sea adventures, a writer compared to Michael Crichton, books like Jaws, books like Jurassic Park, books like The Meg, creature features, monster in the house stories, sea monsters, sea dragons, fiction about the Lusca in Caribbean folklore, myths and legends, a Latina protagonist, an ex-Navy SEAL co-protagonist, fiction about dolphin communication that shows how smart dolphins are and makes dolphins the stars of the show, a novel featuring a marine biologist, a paleontologist, and a pediatrician, books with strong side characters: a research assistant on the Autism Spectrum, a talented European electronica DJ and a loyal dog, book with a submarine adventure, beach read that makes you scared to get in the water, reading about toxic GMO foods, venomous invasive and dangerous genetically modified organisms even vegans might spearhunt, hostage negotiation, a Ham radio, a treasure hunt, a search for Columbus’s hidden gold and guanín, a kidnapping subplot, good guys who can defuse explosives, Vovinam Vietnamese Martial Arts, villains worthy of a James Bond movie, a side of international cartel crime laced with bitcoin, and it’s all set in a tropical paradise we would all like to visit on vacation!
