The Dragons of Mount St. Helens
Учкай маалымат
Marlena never expected to be a dragon slayer. She's a bleeding heart, a geek, and a lifelong animal rescuer. But when Mount St. Helens erupted for the second time in fifty years, it wasn't just ash that poured out. Dragons, legendary creatures of myth, became a terrifying reality.
Now, Marlena and a ragtag band of survivors - a gamer-turned-knight, a brilliant scientist, and a former supermodel - are fighting for survival in a world where most cities have fallen. They’ve found refuge in Camelot, a makeshift haven built to withstand dragon attacks.
Their leader believes the only way to fight a dragon is with another dragon. Their mission is a desperate gamble: steal a dragon egg, raise it, and hope it’s strong enough to protect them from the monstrous beasts that threaten their existence.
But when Marlena encounters a wounded, abandoned dragon whelp, her heart breaks. This isn't a plan to breed a weapon. This is a mission to save the world… and a single, helpless creature caught in the crossfire.
Dive into a world where the line between myth and reality has blurred. Will Marlena become the Mother of Dragons, or will she be just another victim in this post-apocalyptic tale?
This story was previously published in the anthology After the Fall.

Amy Campbell is basically the cool librarian you wish you’d had growing up. A lifelong Texan and current Houston resident, she shares her home with her husband, two young sons, and an impressive model horse collection.
From the age of 7, Amy was the kid who filled her Lisa Frank notebook with stories instead of doodles. That childhood passion evolved into a career writing fantasy novels—worlds imbued with a dash of pegasus, a sprinkle of steampunk, and a pinch of magic. Seriously, if her books were a mixtape, they'd be filled with all the classics but with unexpected remixes that make you go, "Whoa!"
