When Women Were Dragons

When Women Were Dragons

Kelly Barnhill
Fantasy, Coming of Age, Historical Fantasy

In 1955, thousands of women in America sprouted wings, breathed fire, and disappeared into the sky. No one talks about it—not the government, not your neighbors, and definitely not your mother.

Young Alex Green is growing up in the shadow of the Mass Dragoning, a taboo event that stole her aunt, shook her family, and ignited a quiet fury she’s not allowed to name. Her world tells her to be quiet, to be good, and above all, to forget.

But dragons do not forget.

As Alex begins to question the lies around her and uncovers the truth behind what really happened, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim her voice.

In a world terrified of female power, what happens when women finally take flight?
