Rhiana

Rhiana is a fictional character primarily associated with the *Rhiana: The Legend of the Silver Dragon* series, a collection of fantasy novels written by American author Michael J. Sullivan. The series follows the adventures of Rhiana, a young girl who discovers she is the daughter of a legendary silver dragon and becomes entangled in a world of magic, prophecy, and political intrigue.

Born in the fictional kingdom of Eldermere, Rhiana grows up unaware of her true heritage until she is chosen by the ancient dragon, Vaelith, to fulfill a long-foretold prophecy. Her journey involves navigating the complexities of her royal lineage, confronting dark forces, and uncovering secrets about her ancestors. The stories blend elements of fantasy, adventure, and coming-of-age themes, with Rhiana serving as both a protagonist and a symbol of hope in a world threatened by chaos.

While the series is not widely known outside of Sullivan’s dedicated fanbase, it has gained a cult following for its rich world-building, compelling characters, and unique blend of mythology and modern fantasy tropes. Rhiana’s story has been adapted into graphic novels and animated series, expanding its reach to younger audiences. The character’s name itself is derived from the Welsh word for "raven," reflecting her connection to both the mystical and the mysterious.
