Amy Wolf

Mattie Sharpe--seventeen and bored in L.A. --is getting into trouble. She gets into even more when she's whisked to Cavernis, a world teeming with dragons. But these are dragons as you've never seen them: they are fussy gourmets; work as lawyers & CPA's; and attend their school ASH, where they take classes like TNS ("Tails, Nails & Scales").Reuniting with her childhood friend, Mattie learns why she's been brought there, and even heads ASH's rowing team, Skull & Bones. She learns how to be a knight from the mysterious Eli, a small mute dragon...or is he?

Une Aventure de Dragon Pour Jeunes Adultes

Una Guerra Per Draghi

Mattie Sharpe—diciassettenne annoiata di L.A. —è in cerca di guai. La situazione si fa ancora più seria quando viene trasportata a Cavernis, un mondo popolato da draghi. Ma questi sono draghi come non li avete mai visti prima: sono esigenti buongustai; lavorano come avvocati & commercialisti; e frequentano la loro scuola chiamata ASH, dove seguono lezioni come TNS ("Tails, Nails & Scales": cura della Coda, delle Unghie & delle Squame). Dopo aver ritrovato il suo amico d’infanzia, Mattie scopre il motivo per cui è stata portata lì, e guida persino Skull & Bones, la squadra di canottaggio della ASH. Impara come diventare cavaliere dal misterioso Eli, un piccolo drago muto...o forse no?

King Arthur is dead. Camelot has fallen. Britain drowns in Saxons. These are the stories of what came after. Merlin's prophecies begin such, in introduction: "In the days when Arthur's dream was dimmed, as grey embers under storm, actors from our reverie still acted. A boy ventures into decaying Broceliande with the May Hawk's daughter, both in search of fathers. Sir Gawain, bereft of his nation, rides in search of my tomb-but finds a friend turned enemy. In the Britain's hour of need, the round table will be restored to defend Logres in the sky, in the London Blitz. "My tutor, Bleys, will take a fool's horse, and two adventurers will trace my dying steps across the world. Sir Lionel's remains will visit the remains of the Arthurian world, and the Victorians will strive to make a gentleman of Mordred. The Questing Beast will never cease to haunt Pellinore's line, no matter how far north they trend. The old witch, Morgan, will seek forgiveness. The holy lance will appear once more. And a queen who is no longer a queen will meet a knight who is no longer a knight, and both will marvel at the grave of the greatest king who served his country. "These may be read, in full, inside. "But I am tired now, and Nimue calls for me..." An all-new anthology from the award-winning curator Nicole Petit, featuring stories by Colin Fisher, Leigh Ann Cowan, Amy Wolf, Thomas Olivieri, Jon Black, Patricia S. Bowne, Claudia Quint, David Wiley, Christian Bone, Patrick S. Baker, and Elizabeth Zuckerman.
