As the world descends into the chaos of World War II, a secret is unearthed that could change the tides of history. Deep in the caves of Europe, the Nazi regime discovers something ancient and powerful-dragons. Fueled by ambition and desperation, Adolf Hitler's forces aim to weaponize these mythical creatures to dominate the skies and crush their enemies. In response, the United States launches Project Wyvern, a covert operation to train elite pilots to partner with dragons in aerial combat. The program is led by the mysterious and determined Colonel Victor Hawke, who knows that dragons are the key to ending the war-but only if man and beast can learn to trust one another. Captain Alex Carter, a skilled pilot haunted by his past, is selected for the program. Assigned to Draco, a fierce and intelligent dragon with a tragic history of his own, Alex soon realizes that flying with a dragon isn't just about battle tactics-it's about forging a bond of mutual respect, trust, and understanding. Together, Alex and Draco must face grueling training, hostile military leaders who doubt the project, and dangerous missions deep behind enemy lines. But the battlefield isn't the only place danger lurks. Within their ranks, betrayal festers. Alex discovers that one of his closest allies, presumed dead after a tragic accident, has survived-and now works for the enemy as a double agent known only as The Shadow. Blaming Alex for his suffering, The Shadow's mission is personal: to destroy Project Wyvern from within and use dragons to exact his revenge. As Alex and Draco are sent into warzones to liberate concentration camps and free enslaved dragons from Nazi control, they face the harsh realities of war-the horrors inflicted on both humans and dragons alike. Alongside a team of brave pilots, including the tough-as-nails Captain Olivia Hawthorne and the fiercely loyal Sergeant Ethan Brooks, they battle Nazi forces in the skies and on the ground, pushing back the German army alongside the Allied forces. But as victory edges closer, the war takes an unexpected turn. Japan has entered the conflict, and intelligence reports suggest that the Imperial Japanese Army has its own fleet of dragons. With the attack on Pearl Harbor plunging the United States into full-scale war, Alex and Draco must prepare for a new fight-one that will take them across the Pacific and into the heart of a growing shadow. Dragons in the Sky is a thrilling blend of historical fiction and epic fantasy, weaving real-world events with the mythical power of dragons. At its heart, it's a story about loyalty, friendship, and the bonds that form in the face of war. As Alex and Draco navigate a world torn apart by conflict, they discover that the greatest battles are fought not just in the skies, but in the hearts of those who seek peace. But peace comes at a cost-and as Alex learns, the line between hero and villain is often blurred in the fog of war. With stunning aerial combat, deep emotional bonds between man and dragon, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Dragons in the Sky is the first in a gripping series that will leave readers breathless-and eager for more.
