In Wyrmeweald man is both hunter and hunted - and Micah may never return alive, let alone a hero...He soon finds a chance to prove his worth when he meets with Eli, a veteran tracker, and together they defend a rare whitewyrme egg and its precious hatchling. But the fledgling wyrme has its own guardian in the shape of the beautiful, brave and dangerous Thrace. Thrace and Micah should never mix - but the magnetism between them is strong. Together they join forces on a mission to rescue the hatchling - and seek vengeance for lost loved-ones. This is a truly immersive fantasy epic: full of thrilling, high octane action; powerful romance and a cast of credible, colourful characters.

Quatrième de couverture :

'Pure storytelling gold' SCOTSMAN

This was the barrier. The badlands. The Wyrmeweald . . . There was wealth to be had there. Returner's wealth. He would get it, or die in the attempt.

Nestled high a giant egg glows . . .
A beautiful rider and her whitewyrme watch.
A band of hunters wait.
And a new hatchling is born.
One will be kidnapped. One will be wounded. And one will die.
Who is it to be?

Step into the world of Wyrmeweald. The first of a new frontier-fantasy trilogy from the creators of the bestselling Edge Chronicles.

'Rollicking story of love and dragons . . . Intricate drawings match the imaginative language.' FINANCIAL TIMES
