Outlaws in Tunstall Forest organized by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father's murder. Dick's suspicions are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all. [more]

Drachenwandler und Menschen haben Jahrzehnte lang Krieg geführt. Seither leben diese zwei Völker in zwei verschiedenen Königreichen und laufen sich kaum noch über den Weg. Für die Menschen sind Drachen nichts weiter als Wesen aus Geschichten und die wenigen Drachenwandler, die unter den Menschen leben, müssen ihr wahres Ich verbergen. Calia, ein junges Mädchen aus einem kleinen Menschendorf, wird von ihren Eltern an einen Fremden verkauft. Nach einer erzwungenen Hochzeit und bei der Behandlung des Tyrann, der sich ihr Mann nennt, hat sie nur einen Gedanken: Flucht! Doch schon bald findet sie heraus, dass sie mehr ist als sie dachte und auch ihre Aufgabe ist bedeutender als es scheint, denn nach einem gelungenen Attentat am König der Drachen droht der Jahrhunderte lange Konflikt zwischen den Völkern wieder zu eskalieren. Die Ziele ihres Mannes aber sind höher gesetzt als einen Krieg zu führen und zu gewinnen, er will seinen Gegner vernichten. PS Ich habe dieses Buch auch auf Wattpad veröffentlicht, also nicht verwundert sein, falls ihr es dort auch finden solltet :) [more]

It was Tinnemaha, the father of the Chisera, went before the gods for us, I remember. TIAWA Well for us that he taught her his strong medicine.
