About The BookBonding with dragons gave humans magic to craft metal—now, two school rivals have to work together to save dragons they know them, all while keeping their developing friendship secret.Copper-crafter Farren Walsh is set on following in her father's footsteps to become a dragon veterinarian. The only thing more powerful than her love for these magnificent creatures is her hate for those who exploit them for their precious metal. That includes her classmate, an arrogant dragon racer named James Murphy, whose silver-crafting family represents the worst of human greed and dragon abuse—plus, he's the biggest competition for the college scholarship she desperately needs.When James strongarms his way into interning at her family's dragon sanctuary for the summer, it puts everything at risk. Farren isn't just the plain copper-crafter she seems. She's hiding a secret that could not only change her life, but their society as a whole. And James, trying to find refuge from his controlling father, harbors his own secret, years-long crush on Farren. Hating James might be harder than she thought, but Farren can't risk getting too close: the fate of an endangered species is at stake.When Dealing with Dragons is a delightful young adult romantasy about cross-class romance, finding family, and creating a better world for creatures big and small.About The AuthorDANA SWIFT started making up fantasy worlds when she was eleven years old and hasn’t stopped since.
