The Chained Flame, by Saffron Drake
our review of Chained Flame, by @dragonsaffron
If you're looking for a fantasy story with the themes and trappings of European folklore from before modern conventions, than this is it. The Chained Flame reads like an old fairy tale, but longer and as deeply satisfying and introspective as any other novel could be, and with the dragon as the hero. Masterfully crafted.
And if you're yearning to feel the crunch of bone and drip of blood from between your teeth, an insatiable fire burning in your gullet, your claws raking through the loam of old land or the baked clay of well trod roads, this is also it.
Be it known, this is a tragedy, in the classic sense, and a very satisfying one at that.
We, as fellow dragons, are extremely picky about the stories we recommend regarding our kind. We hold no reservations with this one. It's one of the best.
--- You can read this story in its current form on Scribblehub.
