Turquoise Trail (Desert Dragons 1)

Elemental soldier Chino heads off into the Mexican desert looking for his promised bonded. He's a loner, but he's not used to being this alone. The only member of his team not to bond with a dragon, he's feeling pretty hopeless.

That's when he finds dragon guardian Oliver, who's injured and needs Chino's help. Oliver knows things, deep in his soul, and he knows Chino's real name. Can he convince Chino to stay with him and help him raise his passel of dragons?
