Ajax of the Tiber, with his dragon named Dog is the one who often throws the spanner in the works and is the source of much wry humour. Vespir is the fiery servant girl of the Pentri family, a dragon whisperer in love with the daughter of the house, Antonia. Lucian Sabel, with Tyche the dragon, is an ex-soldier who wants to choose a peaceful path by becoming a Sacred Brother and looking after the poor. Each with a clearly defined personality and talent, teamed with distinctly individual dragons, they deliver their version of events in alternating chapters.Įmilia, from the House of Aurun, with her faithful dragon Chara, is an introverted intellectual with a dangerous secret. The catch is that somehow the Great Dragon’s signal has been lost in translation and five unsuitable, unqualified and unexpected teens are summoned. Emperor Erasmus has died and the Great Dragon has therefore called five challengers, with their dragons, to battle it out for the throne. The ‘loser teens’ story is played out in the warmongering world of Etrusia, which is imbued with the magic of Order Vs Chaos and is mapped on the geographical layout of Europe and North America. The author’s website describes her new book House of Dragons as “the intrigue of the Three Dark Crowns meets the cast of The Breakfast Club if they rode dragons into battle” and it is difficult not to agree with the author’s assessment.
