Book Chat: A Dragon's Lament by River Fairchild / Reborn Blog Tour

 

A Dragon’s Lament, book 2 of the Jewels of Chandra series, by River Fairchild is out now!

Magic is real. So is betrayal.

David enters the Fire Kingdom and events shift from bad to worse. He learns a shocking truth about the dragons, a truth destined to block his efforts to retrieve the lost magic of Shaylar from the ruling Council.  After a cave-in and injuries force a rescue, David finds himself more isolated than before as personal concerns scatter his trusted advisors and the wizard who led him there abandons him.

The head of the dragon Council negotiates separate deals with both David and his father, sowing further discord between them. David's close friend, Lothan, disappears into the caves and doesn't return. A group of dissidents kidnap Wilks, the child empath David is sworn to protect. With no options left, he accepts the Council's demands to help them in their centuries-old conflict, risking a war which might kill them all.

Even if David manages to win, there's no guarantee the dragons will let him leave the region alive. They don't want the Kingdom of Shaylar to rise again and will stop at nothing to see it remain a pile of dust.

To purchase A Dragon's Lament: Amazon US / Amazon UK / Smashwords / Nook / iTunes

Available in ebook and print formats.

River Fairchild is somewhat odd, brandishes a dry sense of humor, owned by several cats. Lives in a fantasy world. A fabricator of magic. Makes stuff up and spins tales about it. Believes in Faerie crossings and never staying in one place for very long. Speculative Fiction wordsmith. The secret to her stories? Spread lies, blend in truths, add a pinch of snark and a dash of tears. Escape into her world. She left the porch light on so you can find your way down the rabbit hole. For more information, click here to follow River's blog.

I love the concept behind A Dragon's Lament. The series is totally on the TBR list. Oh that I could read with half my brain and do everything else with the other half simultaneously.

Your Reborn cover is pretty awesome, too! That's so cool that you made up new month names based on the gods of your world.
