The Dragon Book

The Dragon Book

Award-winning editors Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois have put their heads together for an anthology that will stir fire in the hearts of dragon-lovers everywhere. Whether portrayed as terrible fire-breathing beasts at war with humanity, as mindless giants hoarding treasures of gold and precious gems, or as noble creatures mystically bonded to the warriors who ride them, dragons possess the power to enchant and fascinate us. That power is amply demonstrated in the nineteen, never-before-published stories you’ll find in The Dragon Book. Here you’ll find dragons both ancient as time and newly hatched from the egg; dragons evil and rapacious and wise and benign; dragons hunted to the death and dragons who count humans as their closest friends; ensorcelled dragons and dragons with vast magical powers of their own. You’ll encounter dragons who co-exist with our modern world, and dragons who roam the landscapes of Ancient Rome, Tsarist Russia, darkest Africa and a few realms that exist only in the imagination. Featuring the work of top fantasists such as Tamora Pierce, Naomi Novik, Harry Turtledove and Tad Williams, The Dragon Book is a magical lair you’ll want to enter again and again.
