Kira Arend
Worlds Fully Imagined
I write YA fantasy that lingers — stories where dragons choose their riders, magic misbehaves, and heartbreak carves heroes. A Baylor grad and former High School teacher & coach, I now build realms from the ground up: lore-rich, emotionally resonant, and alive with invention. My debut, SCALES OF MAGIC is the first in a planned series that blends sisterhood, danger, and wonder. If you love immersive worlds, layered magic systems, and characters who fight for what matters… welcome.
The Dragonridge Academy of
Magical Arts
Young Adult Fantasy Series
Perched on a cliff above a beautiful valley, the Dragonridge Academy trains Liranelle's most daring young mages — and the dragons who Choose them.
Here, magic is unpredictable, the trials are dangerous, and the ropes course changes itself daily just to keep students humble. A bone dragon haunts the campus, a flame of truth reveals secrets better left hidden, portals misbehave, and magical hazards keep students on their toes.
Enrollment requires courage, teamwork, and a healthy respect for dragons. Eyebrows may be singed. Friendships will be forged.

Book 1
Scales of Magic
Crown Princess Emmilyn Florelle of Liranelle has one goal: find her kidnapped twin sister, stolen by a rogue dragon eight years ago. Now fifteen, she enters the Dragonridge Academy of Magical Arts and should be training to be Chosen by a dragon—but her selfish, grief-driven search for her sister could jeopardize her team’s chance to call any dragons at all and put the very magic of the kingdom at risk.
If you love dragon‑rider academies, fierce sisterhood, and magic on the brink, then get ready for a story that soars.
