Elizabeth was not running away from danger like prey when she left Pemberley for London, no matter what the Council dragons might be saying behind her back.

No, protecting Little Anne and the baby she carried was the right, sensible, and courageous thing to do. It was what any maternal dragon would do. And what place could be safer than Blue Order offices in London?

But where dragons were involved, safe was a relative term.

With threats to the Blue Order on every side, everyone is stepping lightly around the Council dragons. After all, with a huge, unpredictable sea drake off the coast, an ineffective dragon king, and an heir who is even worse, who can blame them for being crankier than usual?

Why, then, do they keep haranguing Elizabeth about the Historian's assistant drake who has been digging up the Archives under the Order offices? Why is the Council so desperate to know what the Historian has found?

A fresh new gas lamp fantasy adventure in the engrossingly intricate world of Jane Austen's Dragons. Anne McCaffrey meets Jane Austen, a perfect mix for dragon lovers and regency-era fans alike.
