Synopsis

Deborah A. Wolf presents an epic fantasy in the tradition of Guy Gavriel Kay and Jacqueline Carey.In the heart of the singing desert, the people are fading from the world. Mothers bear few live children, the warriors and wardens are hard-pressed to protect those who remain, and the vash’ai—the great cats who have called the people kithren for as long as there have been stories—bond with fewer humans each year. High above, the Sun Dragon sings a song of life and love while far below, the Earth Dragon slumbers as she has since the beginning of time. Her sleep is fitful, and from the darkness of her dreams come whispers of war … and death.Sulema is a newly minted warrior of the people and a true Ja’Akari—a daughter of the unforgiving desert. When a mysterious young man appears in her home of Aish Kalumm, she learns that the Dragon King is dying in distant Atualon. As the king fades, so does the magic that sings the Earth Dragon to sleep.There are those who wish to keep the dragon trapped in endless slumber. Others would tap her power to claim it for their own. And there are those who would have her wake, so they might laugh as the world burns.

About Deborah A. Wolf

Deborah A. Wolf was born in a barn and raised on wildlife refuges, which explains a lot. As a child, whether she was wandering down the beach of an otherwise deserted island or exploring the hidden secrets of bush Alaska with her faithful dog Sitka, she always had a book at hand. She opened the forbidden door and set foot upon the tangled path and never looked back. She attended any college that couldn’t outrun her and has accumulated a handful of degrees, the most recent of which is a Master of Science in Information Systems Management from Ferris State University. Among other gigs, she has worked as an underwater photographer, Arabic linguist, and grumbling wage slave. Throughout it all, Deborah has held onto one true and passionate love: the love of storytelling. Deborah currently lives in northern Michigan with her kids (some of whom are grown and all of whom are exceptional), an assortment of dogs and horses, and one cat whom she suspects is possessed by a demon.

Goodreads review by Eleanor

3.8 stars. I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed. This book started out absolutely fantastic. I was loving it. To be fair to the book, I do think that my mood shifted a little halfway through, but I just felt that the story grew a little...stagnant. Like, it was great and all, but the book......more

This probably isn’t true but I did say it was my ego talking. Then I read a novel l......more

Goodreads review by Sean

I received an ARC of 'The Dragon's Legacy' in exchange for an honest review...always a risky venture with me because I am brutally honest and I set my reading bar, especially in fantasy, perhaps unreasonably high. But this author is an intrepid soul or a reckless one - or both - and she insisted I r......more
