A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

There will be flames.

Once dragons ruled the world and humans were little more than prey; then a way of subduing the dragons was discovered. Now the dragons are bred to be little more than mounts for knights and highly valued tokens for the competing aristocratic houses. The Empire has grown fat. And now one man wants it for himself. A man who has killed his own father and is prepared to kill the king.

However flames are on the way. A single dragon has gone missing. And even one dragon on the loose, restored to its full intelligence and fury, could spell disaster for the Empire. But that is not all. The rivals for the throne could soon be facing hundreds of dragons . . .
