Dragonsgate - James Maxey - Bog

The Bitterwood Saga continues in this set of novellas bridging the gap between the end of the original Bitterwood trilogy and the start of the new novel set in the same continuity, Dragonsgate: Devils! Note: This book is now available in this stand alone print version. The ebook versions are included both in Bitterwood: The Complete Collection, and also in Dragonsgate: Devils. Human rebels have successfully defended their hold over the town of Dragon Forge, leaving the dragons leaderless and in disarray. With the dragons showing no appetite for further battles, an uneasy calm has settled upon the land. Bant Bitterwood retires from his time as a dragon slayer to take up the life of a farmer, devoting himself to raising his adoptive children, Zeeky and Jeremiah. But his peaceful life is threatened when something large and toothy raids his henhouse. The steps he takes to protect his family will shatter the relative peace between dragons and men, and open the gate toward a dark and dangerous future. DRAGONSGATE: PRELUDES & OMENS contains three novellas that continue the stories of characters introduced in the original BITTERWOOD TRILOGY. These stories function both as an epilogue to the BITTERWOOD novels and as a prologue to the upcoming DRAGONSGATE trilogy. The three novellas are: HUNTED - Graxen and Nadala are sky-dragons banished to the Cursed Mountains. With Nadala pregnant and no longer able to fly, Graxen must hunt if they hope to survive. But as he stalks a stag on the edge of a forest, something much bigger and hungrier is stalking him. HAUNTED - "There's a dragon in the henhouse." With these words, Bitterwood's quiet days as a farmer come to an end. The steps he takes to defend his farm lead to a violent confrontation that will destroy his last hope of peace. HURT - A traitor has betrayed his fellow men, selling valuable secrets to a dragon plotting to seize Dragon Forge from human control. Anza and Stonewall must undertake a desperate mission into the heart of a dragon stronghold to kill those who've learned the secrets. But when Anza is gravely injured, she faces a terrible choice that will forever change the balance of power between dragons and mankind.
