I started a book called Dragon's Battlefield. Here's the summary.
On the planet Nothim, dragons are mainly discounted as myth by the peoples of the countries of Tounoo and Kamor. Yet, the people of Nimshar Plain, the Mudlin desert, and of the mountain kingdom of Scorpio, all know that dragons exist-- and deal with them everyday. These people are also aware of the War that is coming. The lush Far North Forests, home of the Shadow Dragons, have been invaded by industrializing miners. When the invasion began, it was just a handful of poor farmers who wanted to live in cooperation with the Shadow Dragons. Now, though, the settlers have raveged the forests, killing Shadow Dragon hatchlings and breaking open eggs. The Shadow Dragons have fled to their "place of creation"-- the Mother Cave, deep in the western mountains. They have begun systematic raiding of Tounooish villages and towns--no killing or savaging, they just burn the houses once they've gotten the people out. They also take young girls as Dratho Akhana-- dragon sisters, female dragon riders to work in cooperation with their imprinted hatchlings. Together, the Shadow Dragons, the Dragon Sisters, and most of the dragons of Nothim are uniting to drive out the menace in the Lush Far North forests. Though the humans may discount the dragons as murdering beasts, it is clear who will be victor. This is the Dragons' Battlefield.
