Description
This is the life story of the great dragon hero, Ghlent, told in his own words.
From being almost murdered, seriously injured, and effectively orphaned before he’d even been hatched two hours, Ghlent went on to not only survive, but thrive despite being an oddly-coloured freak that some thought shouldn’t have been allowed to live. Although at times facing prejudice and bullying, he became a prominent member of dragon society, and he ended his life as one of the most famous and revered dragons of his own or any other generation.
Ghlent lived during one of the greatest periods of turbulence and change in the history of Dragondom. He hatched at the height of dragon glory and civilisation and he ended his life in one of the darkest periods of dragon history.
In between, he witnessed, and in some cases influenced, many changes and pivotal events. He saw the relationship between dragons and humans go from the interaction of a few dragons with a handful of dragon-obsessed humans to a formal treaty with the king of Noranda, and he saw Dracos grow from a purely dragon enclave to a thriving, semi-independent state within Noranda, where dragons and humans ruled and lived together in harmony.
He saw dragons and humans learning how to work together to build a brave new world, and he saw that world almost destroyed when the prejudices and bigotry of others led the world into a bitter war. Desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures, and Ghlent was instrumental in instituting some of those measures; measures aimed at the very preservation and survival of Dragonkind.
Ghlent can tell you about the origins of Dracos, about how dragons and humans came to befriend each other, and about the causes of the first war. He can tell you which was the first settlement in Dracos, how the dragons’ treaty with the king of Noranda came to be, and why the First Families considered themselves pre-eminent in Dracos. He can certainly tell you how much of the legend of Ghlent you ought to believe.
He can tell you all these things because he was there. From the vibrancy and hope of the golden days of dragon civilisation to the depths of despair and loss, from a poor, orphaned dragonet to the great hero of Dragondom, Ghlent saw it all. He lived it all.
There are three ways this story can be approached. As a stand-alone novel; as an introduction to the world of the Rainbow Dragonesque novels; or, if you’ve already read those books, as a prequel that fills in some of the background history that you will have read about in the books.
