How Dragon’s Gift Universe Began
Linsey Hall, a former archaeologist who once hunted shipwrecks in tropical seas and muddy rivers, poured her love for adventure and history into the Dragon’s Gift Universe. After a decade of exploring the past, Hall traded her trowel for a pen, crafting a world where magic and archaeology collide. Inspired by her passion for mythological artifacts and a belief that 'life is better with magic,' she launched the series in 2016 with Ancient Magic, introducing readers to the FireSouls and their high-stakes quests.
The Heart of Dragon’s Gift Universe
The series kicks off with Ancient Magic, where Cass Clereaux, a FireSoul with the power to find magical treasures, is hired by the powerful shifter Aidan Merrick to locate an ancient scroll. As she battles demons and her own secrets, Cass’s journey sets the stage for the series’ blend of action and mystery. Mirror Mage deepens the stakes as Cass faces a criminal overlord blackmailing her and her sisters, while Stolen Magic sends her into a deadly temple for rare daggers. Eternal Magic and Infinite Magic wrap up Cass’s arc, exploring her identity and the cost of her powers.
At its core, the Dragon’s Gift Universe is about sisterhood, resilience, and embracing one’s true self. Themes of found family shine through Cass, Del, and Nix’s loyalty, while their secret FireSoul magic—tied to dragons and the ability to steal powers—adds moral complexity. Hall’s archaeological background weaves real-world historical references into the magical setting of Magic’s Bend, a hidden supernatural city, creating a vivid, immersive world. The series’ fast-paced style, peppered with humor and closed-door romance, keeps readers hooked across its sprawling miniseries.
