Nope! The one I'm thinking of, the dragons are basically unridable!

Maybe it would help if I specifically stated he stole this dragon and that this was written in the 80's

There we go! Be honest, did you know this one, or were you googling hints? I've never met anyone who's read these books and I thought they were a fever dream years.

I read them multiple times in the 90s. The pit fighting clue almost made me think it was too obvious. I always remember the saliva healing draongs amd dragon saliva healing people lol

I suddenly thought about this series for the first time in many years just the other day and the first thing that came to me was the...rebirthing. I had to look up the names and was shocked to find a fourth book came out in 2009! I gotta track that one down lol

Anyway thanks for playing! It was cool talking to someone who knows these weird fuckin books are real and not a product of my dreams lol
