Kriemhild and Brunhild

Eden... A place of perfection, where man and beast live side by side in harmony… Eden’s protector, the silver dragon, regularly visits retribution upon those who would bring harm to paradise. But when the dragon discovers a human girl on the shores of Eden, he decides to raise her as his own. He teaches her that if she is to be welcomed into God’s kingdom after death, she must not harbor hatred in her heart. But when the dragon’s life is mercilessly snuffed out by human machinations, the girl must choose whether to heed his dying wish and stay the course of righteousness…or walk a path of vengeance.(Source: Yen Press) Note: The first novel published, it is set 700 years after the second novel.

Eventually, Sigurd grows tired of Brunhild and banishes her, only to call her back to the royal palace when she awakens to divine abilities of her own. Now betrothed to her brother, Brunhild must find a way to placate the unstable prince if she is to have any chance of surviving… (Source: Yen Press)
