This is a fantasy book where the reader plays the role of historian putting together the pieces to determine why and how Cry City was destroyed. It chronicles the accounts of Taea, an impressionable girl who matures into a role that could fulfill a destiny ending all conflict. Will her fate bring the dragons back? Will there be another Age of Dragons? It is a unique experience that combines war, politics, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, and cryptanalysis -- A refreshingly dark fairy tale. This is the first book of the Dragoncry series. "Traveling alone in the empire is not recommended. It is a brutal world out there, but staying home and not venturing forth to see the beauty of the land and people-mostly-would be a crime in itself."
