Life in the rebellion isn't easy, we aren't going to lie. BUT if you join us, you'll meet fallen angels who've rebelled against a religious cult and help move the world from a Cyberpunk Dystopia to a Solarpunk Utopia! You'll meet Darius, a reluctant hero who is on a journey by bike, train, and even dragon! Join her in her quest to return the flying macguffins to their rightful homes. With  her, you can dodge bullets, sort out a love triangle, and deal with a grumpy bodyguard.

Sherrie A. Bakelar has been publishing indie fantasy, horror, and sci-fi for a decade. The four volumes of A Dragon for Darius will bring the total number of books published to ten. In honor of this, a special, limited edition series of hardcover books featuring unique cover art will be available only through this project.

Darius just wanted to live her life, a simple routine that kept her safe and fed on the streets of Chicago. When a murder interrupted that routine, a group of rebels hijacked her life and sent her on a quest to save the planet and overthrow the secretive religious cult that rules the world.
 

Decades before, the cult had waged war against the planet, killing its guardian spirits and the champions of the natural world, including the Four Auspicious Beasts of Chinese legend. With the guardians gone, the leaders of the cult gorged themselves on the planet's lifeforce, slowly killing the Earth. Hoarding this power, the cult leaders sowed resentment amongst their soldiers. And when the soldiers discovered the souls of the Four Auspicious Beasts kept captive instead of killed, a rebellion formed.

Stealing the souls, the rebels fled. But when the loyalists caught up to them in Chicago, they attacked Darius' train, and in the midst of battle, Darius fled with the souls; their rebel protector slaughtered at her feet.

Now that she's protecting them, it's up to Darius to reawaken the Four Auspicious Beasts and save the planet. Accompanied by a bodyguard, a smuggler, and a couple of rebels, Darius sets off around the world, searching for fonts of elemental power strong enough to reawaken the souls.

However, as each beast is set free and the planet begins to tilt back into balance, the cult grows more desperate to stop her. Soon even a Guardian Dragon won't be able to keep Darius safe.
