Li n Shuyue, a Song dynasty Daoist oracle, awakens in New Philadelphia-a glittering military city where dragons are engineered, obedience is law, and anything that cannot be controlled is labeled a threat.
Armed with six divination coins, the Hexagram Engine, and a tiny celestial beast with a talent for eating bad contracts, Shuyue is pulled into the orbit of a warlord whose black techdragon refuses to kneel.
But the academy is not merely cruel. It is wounded.
As Shuyue transforms a prison for broken riders into a sanctuary, she uncovers a system built on coercion, grief, and a buried intelligence that wants the world to submit. To save the living, she must read wounds no one else can see, defy a future built on cages, and decide whether home is the past she lost-or the unfinished place that still needs her.
Cozy fantasy with teeth. Dragon-school intrigue. Slow-burn tension. Found family. A sanctuary built in the heart of a machine.
The Dragon Hangar Oracle: Before Completion is Book One in a cozy sci-fantasy series blending dragon academy fantasy, Daoist xianxia-inspired magic, LitRPG-style progression, mystery, humor, and slow-burn romantasy.
