Amazon #1 Bestseller

The Amazon #1 Bestselling Dragon Shifter Romantasy With a Warrior Heroine, Forbidden Magic, and Six Complete Books.

DRAGONS OF BLOOD AND BONE

AMAZON #1 BESTSELLING FANTASY ROMANCE • COMPLETE 6-BOOK SERIES

Dragons of Blood and Bone is an Amazon #1 Bestselling series in Fantasy Romance, Urban Fantasy, and Romantasy. The series hit that ranking because the reader response to Book 1 was immediate and strong — “the best Fantasy Romance I have read all year,” “grabbed me as hard and as fast as the Red Letter Hotel series,” “an explosive first book.” Readers who started finished quickly and came back for the next book.

The premise drove the response: a Blood Dragon warrior (not a human heroine — she’s already a dragon) forced to return to her ancestral clan in Sweden after twenty years away, confronting her ex-mate, her forbidden Bloodwalker magic, and an ancient dark force connected to her own family. The combination of second chance romance, warrior heroine, explicit reverse harem, and gritty Viking world-building gave the series a distinctive identity in a crowded market.

Six books are now complete, with ratings that improve with each installment: 4.3 stars to 4.7 stars across the series. The Amazon bestseller status is not a launch spike — it reflects sustained reader engagement with the world Ava Ward built.

Full of mystery, suspense, magic and romantic tension

“Full of mystery, suspense, magic and romantic tension that only a masterful author like Ms. Ward can achieve. I cannot wait for book two.” — b_walla, BookBub
