Man, I feel you—new books are expensive! While I can’t point you to a free download (that’d be piracy, and we don’t do that here), I’ve got tricks for accessing books cheaply. 'Skandar and the Phantom Rider' might pop up on Kindle Unlimited or library apps like Libby if you’re patient. I snagged the first book that way last year! Also, follow the author on social media; sometimes they run giveaways. Supporting creators legally keeps the magic alive for future installments.
Books like 'Skandar and the Phantom Rider' are such a joy to dive into, aren’t they? I completely understand the urge to find a free version—budgets can be tight, and the excitement for a new story is hard to resist. But here’s the thing: this book is a fresh release, and the author (and everyone involved in its creation) deserves support for their work. Piracy isn’t just illegal; it drains the energy from the creative community we love. If you’re strapped for cash, libraries often have physical or digital copies you can borrow legally! I’ve discovered so many gems through my local library’s app, like 'Skandar'’s predecessor, which I adored. Plus, used bookstores or ebook sales might surprise you with affordable options.
That said, I totally get the temptation. There’s something magical about instantly accessing a story you’re craving. But think of it like this: every legal purchase or borrow helps ensure more books in this universe get written. The 'Skandar' series has such vibrant world-building—I’d hate to see it fade because of lost revenue. Maybe check out author newsletters for occasional free short stories? They often share bonus content to keep fans hooked while supporting the main series. Either way, happy reading—this one’s worth the wait (or the save-up)!

The dragons and royals are at war. Dragons have power and the royals want it to cement their rule in their kingdoms. Rather than creating a bond between the two, the royals have been stealing dragon eggs, hoping they will bond with the dragon once it hatches, allowing the royal to become a dragon rider. However, there is a thief among them, someone who is stealing the dragon eggs and returning them to the dragons. Someone who, when found, will be put to death.
Princess Skylar is the daughter of King Augustus. Her father has been hunting dragon eggs for years. Unbeknownst to him, Skylar is the thief that he is searching for. She does not agree with stealing dragon eggs from the mothers who make their nests away from the other dragons, making themselves vulnerable to attack. Her betrothed, Prince Kenneth, also supports stealing dragon eggs in the hope of bonding with a dragon and making his kingdom stronger.
Ryuki is a dragon rider. He bonded with his dragon, Bynjym, a year ago when he stumbled across him in the wild. The bond between dragon and rider is sacred. Ryuki and other dragon riders believe that it should never be forced. The riders fight against the royals who steal dragon eggs, working to keep them from being able to access the eggs, or fighting to get the eggs back to their dragon mothers.
What will happen when Ryuki realizes that Skylar is a royal like no other? Can Skylar keep her secret from her father, continuing to work inside the palace to take the stolen eggs back to their mothers? What will happen when Skylar realizes that her feelings for Ryuki are much stronger than her feelings for Prince Kenneth? Find out in The Dragon Thief.

Her step-brother had always kept his distance, treating her as if she was nothing but a child.

Trapped under the same roof with him and her ruthless stepfather, Blair soon discovered the truth: there were no lines between family and enemies, love and ruin.

Skadi's Saga is one of those indie games that caught my attention because of its gorgeous pixel art and Norse mythology vibe. From what I know, it's not officially free—most platforms like Steam or itch.io list it with a price tag. But sometimes, developers run limited-time promotions or giveaways, so keeping an eye on their social media or Discord might score you a free copy.
That said, if budget's tight, I'd recommend wishlisting it and waiting for a sale. Indie devs pour their hearts into these projects, and supporting them directly helps fuel more awesome games like this. Plus, the soundtrack alone is worth the few bucks—it’s got this haunting Nordic folk feel that totally immerses you in the world.
