The Dragon Hierarchy in the Blackwick Series

In the Blackwick series, dragons are not mere creatures of folklore; they are beings of immense power and significance, each with a role that shapes the universe.

Celestial Dragons

The dream weavers of the universe. They possess unparalleled wisdom and creativity, dreaming up universes and filling them with boundless knowledge. They existed before time itself, and their power is awe-inspiring.

Dragon Titans

Mighty beings that range from microscopic to mountainous in size. They thrive on the essence of human souls from the universes created by the Celestial Dragons. As they attain their full power, they have the potential to shake the world with their colossal strength and influence.

Subdragons

Often overlooked, these small and seemingly insignificant dragons have honed the art of shapeshifting into human forms. They execute the will of their Dragon Titan ancestors, maneuvering through the human world, often unnoticed.

Introducing Esmé: The Raven Child

One such Subdragon is Esmé. In The Daughter of Vandor, we introduce a character unlike any other—Esmé, the raven child. She is a loner, a collector, always on the hunt for ways to eliminate her enemies and gather ingredients for a potion that could alter the course of events.

Esmé’s origins are as compelling as her presence. Born as the eighth child, she was deemed too small and too frail, earning her rejection. But now, this raven girl has returned, stronger and more determined than ever. Will she seek vengeance, or will she lend her abilities to aid the Intercessors? The answers lie in the shadows she calls home, where she perches in the rafters or strikes with her dagger.

A striking portrait of Esmé, a raven-winged girl with piercing red eyes, sitting barefoot among scattered autumn leaves. She wears tattered yet functional clothing, adorned with leather straps and rings, exuding an aura of quiet intensity and resilience.
"Born small, cast aside, but stronger than they ever imagined—Esmé’s path is hers to forge."

A Glimpse of What’s to Come

The Daughter of Vandor promises to be an electrifying addition to the Blackwick series, with Esmé playing a key role. Her journey will reveal hidden truths and reshape alliances, challenging the established order in unexpected ways.
