The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas
I’ve always loved reading about dragons but completely agree with those who say that, recently, dragons have had their claws clipped to make them that little bit more accessible to readers. Anne McCaffrey’s dragons are the chief culprits and Naomi Novik’s Temeraire is steadily losing that air of a dangerous animal in favour of campaigning for ‘Dragon Rights’ and spending his spare time solving maths problems…
Where are the dragons that will torch a village just because a tricksy hobbit beats them in a word game? Where are the dragons that we just know are top of the food chain? They’re still around (if you know where to look) and now it looks like Stephen Deas is about to add to their number with his debut set to be published in March next year…
