Slayers

Written by C.J. Hill

This is an action-packed thriller about dragons and dragon slayers that takes place in the present time, not the usual medieval story. The dragon eggs have been programmed to hatch during this time. A group of teenagers whose mothers were inadvertantly exposed to the eggs have had unique dragon-slayer abilities awakened in them through this exposure. At a special camp they are being trained in skills to fight the dragons when they do finally hatch. Tori is a wealthy, pampered teenager who is attracted to the camp because of her love of dragon-lore. She adds a bit of humor and romance to the tale. This was a great read. The book suggests the author’s name is a pseudonym, leaving me wondering who she really is.
