Talented Writers – DEBORAH “JORDAN” BERNAL

This talented author writes under the name Jordan Bernal. Jordan is a committed fantasy fiction writer. She is so dedicated that as part of the research for her soon to be released novel, The Keepers of Eire, she traveled to Ireland where she visited and pictorially recorded the historical locations in her novel.

For centuries dragons have protected Ireland, their existence kept secret with the help of earth magic and their human riders. That secret is threatened now that the bodies of four riders have been found at sacred Irish sites.

Christian Riley, a man with secrets of his own, is haunted by vivid dreams of each slaying. As each dream intensifies, he wonders if he is the killer.

An American searching for her Irish roots, Devan Fraser, stumbles into the mystery of the murders while exploring the secrets behind her inherited heirloom dragon ring.

Christian’s only memento from the mother who gave him up for adoption is a dragon pendant that matches Devan’s ring. Together they discover the truth of dragons, their destinies, and the depths of honor and loyalty people will go to protect the ones they love.

Journey with Christian and Devan as they discover a shared destiny and rush to stop a dragon slayer.
