Sometimes a battle isn't waged on a bloody field.

Sometimes it's won within the heart of one girl.


Hua Minglan wants revenge for the death of her sister, and she'll do anything to get it.

A war is brewing between Piao and the Kou warriors to the north, a war that has called every able-bodied man in Piao from their fields.

When Hua's father is summoned to fight, she knows he won't return, most of the warriors don't.

With a decision that could cost her everything, she leaves her home behind in an attempt to take her father's place training under Commander Jian Li, brother to the emperor.

The commander is a harsh man, a demanding man, and one with his own desire for vengeance.

Hua can't get too close. She can't befriend the man who is able to bring her deceptions tumbling to the ground. If he learns the truth about who she is, it won't only see her shunned from the army for disguising herself as a man.

It will end in her execution.

Hua never imagines that by joining the army, she brings a greater foe into the heart of Piao.


What if the Kou are only a distraction?

What if the real enemy is her?


Dive into this full-length Mulan inspired fantasy. Beware of dragons, sword-wielding girls, and a slow-burn, heartbreaking romance.

Review

The details with which Michelle wrote this story and built the world, made for an outstanding image in my mind. Véronique Lam YA Book Central Review

Despite all the world building and detail, the writing style was easy to read and understand and most of all, the story was fast paced, gripping and intriguing. It made me want to continue reading, hence why I read this book in only two sittings spread over two days. Véronique Lam YA Book Central Review

The tension in the air surrounding Hua's secrets could be felt throughout the whole book, the respect of her comrades for her was beautifully written and Hua's relationships with both Luca and Jian were done nicely. YA Book Central Review

I loved this book with all my heart and I truly cannot wait to read the sequel! Véronique Lam YA Book Central Review

What I loved: The characters. I loved Hua's strength and unwavering love for her family. The commander who is fighting his own demons while trying to train warriors. And Luca who is understanding of Hua's desire to keep her secrets. Linda Higgins Reviewer

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and recommend anyone who loved the story of Mulan read this new spin on the original tale. YA Book Central Review

Reading DRAGON RISING is a great way to start off 2020! Bethany Wicker, Reviewer at YA Book Central

DRAGON RISING is a fierce fantasy about a girl stepping out of her comfort zone to make a difference in the war and get her revenge. This is one fans of fantasy, Mulan, romance, action, adventure, and dragons won't want to miss! YA Book Central Review

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm a USA Today Bestselling author of fantasy, contemporary romance, and romantic comedies. Fantasy was my first and forever love with the bestselling "Golden Curse". I love taking old stories and turning them around until they're almost unrecognizable except to the most avid fans. I write books to challenge myself, tackling hard topics or places so different from my own. Studying ancient cultures, architecture, and folklore is one of the best parts of being an author.

I've written more than seventy stories full of magic, love, and friendship, and at thirty-three, have no plans to ever stop.

Word can not even describe how much I enjoyed this book! The characters are all great! The pacing of the book was perfect. The author was able to keep a balance between the original story and her own spin on it. This book is just so fun! Read it for yourself. But be careful, your going to want to finish it in one sitting.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Don't Want to Miss This Retelling!
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020

This book was well written and had everything you would expect from a retelling of Mulan. War, death, love, dragons, mystery, and a enemy. The story weaves its self around these points, has excellent characters and their development is ongoing with the movement of the story itself.

I was hooked from the start, you begin with Hua and her family, you meet her mom and dad, sister, and even her betrothed. As the first attack is raged by the enemy on an unsuspecting city, Hua learns that in the blink of an eye those you love can be taken from you easily. Once home the threat of war has her dad preparing to go help despite being disabled. Wanting to help, wanting revenge for those now gone, Hua can't sit back and let her dad go off to a war he may not come back from. Escaping in the middle of the night with the help of her grandmom, Hua goes off to fight the Kou. Once in the training camp Hua finds that it's not as easy as she thought even with the skills she already had.... From there so much more happens. I can't wait to read the 2nd book!

I love retellings but I was never really a fan of Mulan but I love M. Lynn's books so I dove in and was blown away. Lots of action sequences and characters you quickly get attached to. Lots of intense feels and twists. Was especially blown away with the Dragon element! Can't wait for the rest of the series.

First of all, I love this author. Secondly, I'm probably the only one in the world who has never seen Disney's Mulan. Yes, I know that is a tragedy, but it also made me excited to read this story without any expectations. I was therefore able to enjoy the journey and adventure that Dragon Rising offers. I can't wait to read the second book when it's released. If you love dragons and romance, then this may be the story for you.
