QSFer Nita Round has a new queer fantasy book out, Dragon Riders of Vorden book 2: Red Dragon Ascended.
It is not power or strength that makes a great dragon, but the heart it chooses to bond with.
The Weyr of the Evenstar was meant to be a place of honor—a home for those chosen to ride dragons. For Kanastya, it’s a battlefield.
Bullied for her differences and weakened by an illness, every day is a fight for survival. Yet among the dragons, she finds solace and belonging.
But as threats beyond the weyr grow and dragons prepare for war, Kanastya must discover the true meaning of strength. Not the kind forged in perfect health or flawless skill, but the kind that rises despite everything. For her greatest power might not be the one they train for…but the one that makes her different.

Author Bio
Nita Round is the author of Dragon Riders of Vorden, a young adult fantasy series where dragons soar, danger calls, and heroines who refuse to give up. Her stories blend friendship, adventure, and world-building that lingers long after the final page.
She lives in the Heart of England with her wife. Growing up, Nita longed for fantasy stories with strong, relatable heroines. So she decided to write them herself.
A lifelong storyteller, she’s also written multiple fantasy series spanning fantasy adventure, urban fantasy, and steampunk. When not writing, she’s gaming, painting miniatures or exploring castles. She also enjoys cooking (a talent passed down from a family of chefs), tending her garden, and of course getting lost in a good book.
