The Dragon Beshrewed by M.M. Stauffer It's common enough for a book of dragons to center on a young wizard harnessing his power, or a knightly lad (usually a farmhand) learning to vanquish evil. The Merlins and Arthurs, if you will. Too rarely do we get to glimpse the other side of the coin. The Madam Mims and Morgan le Fays certainly had their own humble beginnings, but those stories are seldom told. Those climbs to power are somehow neglected. But within the pages of The Tatterwing Chronicles you'll find such a story. A story of a young girl taking her first steps to becoming a notorious witch known as Tatterwing. A story of her rise to power, her flirtation with the darkness, and her tendency to ride the line between hero and villain as the odds stack against her. Book one finds young Medo as a child of thirteen living deep in the bowels of the swamp, before she's seen the outside world. Before anyone has heard her name. |

The friendly mushroom folk called StrĂŒm amble about the halls of the high dwarven society of Belhaven, where family fates are intertwined and political and social intrigue rule the day. "None hail Gildeloreon, Breaker of Oaths!" has become a passcode among the high dwarves of good society. The usurper Gildeloreon has stolen the crown and threatens to throw the world into war as he presses to unite the dwarven kingdoms under his yoke. Follow the intricate and troubled family lives of three high dwarvish clans--the Blackbellows, Mournfrosts, and Polaxes--as their familiar world of feasts and parlors is turned upside down.
