Concluding the fantasy trilogy by Nebula Award nominee Robin Bailey!For three hundred years the Dragons and all the Dragonkin have taken refuge from the world of Men. Now the winds of change are shivering across the forest. There can be no more hiding and no more retreat. The dangers have never been greater, the peril never more dire. The fates of well-loved creatures hang in the balance, and when the fires and ashes settle, the world called Undersky will never be the same.The three talismans containing the last drops of magic left in the world have been found and reunited in Wyvernwood. From the Haunted Lands in the west, Chan has returned with the Glass Dragon. From the bowels of Redclaw on the northern border of Wyvernwood, itself, Luna has returned with the Heart of all Dragons. Most surprising and troubling of all, the Dragon Ronaldo has returned from the ravaged island of Thursis in the East with the Diamond Dragon.Now revealed as the true first-born son of Stormfire, Ronaldo incurs the jealous wrath of Harrow, the eldest-by-minutes of the triplets. Hot-tempered Harrow feels cheated of his destiny and his heritage. He, not Ronaldo, should have found the talisman. How can he ever hope to be chosen as the Dragonkin's next leader?But the citizens of Wyvernwood have more immediate problems. Degarm has poisoned the Blackwater River, which is the main artery of the forest. Worse, the king of Angmar, enraged by the death of his own son at Thursis, has sent his army across the border in an all-out attack with one supreme order-burn the forest!Nor are these the only threats. The end of Wyvernwood seems certain.Praise for Dragonkin Book One"Sharp, witty writing… Plenty of action and extremely lyrical text… This novel is recommended for school and public libraries with fantasy collections."-Voya

THE FIRST VOLUME OF A MAJOR FANTASY TRILOGY."Dragonkin follows admirably in the tradition of Watership Down, Redwall and other fantasies in which creatures heroically face obstacles with the best qualities of their breed. The world of Dragonkin ratifies Robin Bailey's Nebula Award nomination by presenting a fantasy of the highest order. Miss it at your peril!" -John Vornholt, Bestselling author of The Troll King The time of the dragons has passed, and a New Age is coming-one dominated by a race called "Man." Wyvernwood, a deep and mysterious forest in the land of Engmar, is the last known refuge for the descendants of the great and majestic dragons that once ruled the skies. And with them have come most of the remaining mythological and magical creatures of the world. But there is no stopping the gradual encroachment of Men. It is clear to all the creatures of Wyvernwood, especially to the dragons, that if they are to survive, a new home and refuge must be found. Somewhere lost in the dangerous outer world, prophecy says, are three ancient artifacts called the Diamond Dragon, the Glass Dragon, and the Heart of All Dragons. When the three are united once again, they will point the way to a new home. Yet who will dare to seek such a place? Harrow, Chan, and Luna are three young dragon triplets-two brothers and a sister, born of the same nest. Prophecy says that one of the three will rise to lead the dragons to a new home-but which one?

Along the way, they will find adventure and danger-and discover, to their alarm, that not all of the surviving Creatures of Myth live in the Great Refuge….
