A looming cataclysm. An army of enemies. Can Merindah, Ali and Dee outwit devious deities, dragons, and their prophesied destiny to save their worlds?

On Heavens Gate, a dying planet where magic and science have forged an uneasy alliance, Merindah is desperate to unlock the secret of the Timegates and rescue what's left of humanity. What she lacks in magical ability, she more than makes up for in ambition. With the help of an impatient and not-so-extinct dragon, her magic takes on a twist with cosmic implications.

Meanwhile, on tech-ruled post-Crack Earth, where magic doesn't officially exist, Ali's humdrum life under the disintegrating Melba Dome is becoming weirder by the day. Her fingers start glowing, a snarky dragon shows up, and people she thought were her friends keep trying to control, kidnap or assassinate her.

Finally, on Reverie, where magic rules unfettered, a young orphan becomes burdened with tainted magical gifts. Dee is alone, trapped in a waking nightmare. When she finally surrenders to desperation, her out-of-control magic unleashes her dragon and propels her onto a path that could unravel the fabric of time and space.

Three women, three worlds, and their time is running out. Unless Merindah, Ali, and Dee can reunite their single soul in one year, all is lost. They must each make unimaginable sacrifices to become the Key, the Gatekeeper, and the Fire who will save the Cosmos - or ignite Armageddon.

Ochre Dragon is the spellbinding first book in The Opal Dreaming Chronicles high fantasy, dystopian sci-fi, hopepunk mashup. If you like complex characters, epic landscapes, and mind-bending mysteries, then you'll love V. E. Patton's multi-layered tale.

Patton, V. E.: - "V. E. Patton spent as much of her childhood as she could lost in a good book. She spent most of her adult life lost in a good job as a nurse, midwife, CEO, coach and facilitator (amongst other things). After years of encouraging her children and clients to follow their dreams, she finally got around to remembering what she wanted to be when she grew up - so she began writing fiction. Ochre Dragon: The Opal Dreaming Chronicles Book 1 is her first fantasy (in a book). She hopes you get lost in it. She lives in a mudbrick home in Gisborne, north-central Victoria, Australia with her ever-patient husband and a menagerie of animals."
