[COMPLETE][114K][SCIENCE FANTASY/ROMANCE] TALONS OF FATE

Searching for beta readers for a science-fantasy romance novel.

LOG LINE: When a gifted inventor is forced into a deadly dragon-bonding competition on a ruined Earth, she uncovers evidence that her brother's death (former contestant) was no accident and must expose a conspiracy before it costs her dragon, her soulmate, and her life.

WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT? 

On Haven's outermost station, Lyssa Thorne spends every spare hour engineering tech that might earn enough credits to keep her name out of the yearly televised hunt that already took her brother. The rules are simple to follow. The contestants bond with dragons, descend to a ruined Earth, and scavenge for resources that keep Haven alive.

Most never return, and her latest invention should secure her a future.

Instead, it puts her in the hunt.

Now she must bond with a dragon and survive a brutal arena where cameras never blink and desperate contestants will kill to win. When the dragon that chooses her once flew with her brother, its memories reveals his death was no accident.

A secret Haven will kill to keep buried.

With the Trials escalating, Lyssa allies with Rowan, a stoic dragon handler whose loyalty could save her life or end it.

Exposing the truth might be their only way out, but winning a system built on spectacle and sacrifice may cost her the dragon who chose her, the man she believes is her soul mate, and the future she's fighting for.

It has plenty of dystopian and mystery blending too.
It's the eighth draft of this story, has been in the query trenches for the past year, got 6 fulls and no yes.
