In the mountains of the Mirror, exiled skyriders fly dragons in the old Way, merged in flesh, blood, and bone. They fought for the freedom of the valley’s dragons…and lost. Now, imprisoned in the stone lair, the captive dragons beat webbed wings and thrash serpentine tails. The creatures howl, tormented, their fury matched only by their despair. Treasa, the daughter of exiles, seeks the secrets of a shattered past and a father she never knew. She dreams with the lair’s dragons, torn by visions of unbound flight and a desperate longing to be free. The lair’s riders sense the dragons’ increasing savagery. Yet, Conall longs to grasp their power, subdue them, and soar. With a heart encased in iron, he will master the weapons of compliance—at the cost of the woman he loves. Then, a curved talon rends flesh and dragon scale, rattling against white ribs. Blood falls like rain and alliances shift. The battle for the dragon’s soul begins again.

One of the greatest English writers of the 19th century was a Polish-born man who couldn’t even speak English fluently until he had entered adulthood. Nevertheless, Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) went on to have a well-regarded literary career that bridged Romanticism and Modernism while also covering the zenith and twilight of the British empire. Conrad used his experience within the British empire to write novels and stories that often used the sea and navy as a setting, juxtaposing the individual human spirit with the collective duty and honor of the British navy. And though it was a second-language, Conrad mastered English prose.
