Bronze Dragon Codex (Dragon Codices Series) »

R.D. HENHAM is a scribe in the great library of Palanthas. In the course of transcribing stories of legendary dragons, the author felt a gap existed in the story of the everydragon: ordinary dragons who end up doing extraordinary things. With the help of fellow scribes and Sindri Suncatcher, R.D. has filled that gap with these books.

R.D. Henham returns with another Practical Guide to Dragons adventure!

Could a "good" dragon really be evil?

Witness to the kidnapping of her younger siblings' eggs, young bronze dragon Simle has good reason to think that all humans are evil. Tatelyn, whose brother was killed by a dragon who was supposed to be good, also has good reason to distrust even metallic dragons.

But when thrown together on a mission to recover their magical powers, Tatelyn and Simle realize that they have more in common than they ever imagined.

Children's Literature

Bronze dragon Simle and cleric Tatelyn have one thing in common: their hatred of each other's species. Tatelyn watched her brother be killed by a dragon; Simle mourns the kidnapping of her siblings by humans. Tatelyn is the leader of a group dedicated to banishing all dragons from Krylnn; Simle seeks the humans responsible for her family's anguish. However, their causes must be put on hold when a strange connection is established between them. Tatelyn and Simle are unwillingly forced to work together to save themselves and their loved ones from the threat of the draconians. This story has a strong theme of reconciliation between those with differences. As such, the plot becomes more about the forging of a relationship between two enemies than about a larger conflict. Because of this, the story as a whole loses a sense of complexity. It is a heartwarming story with exciting moments. Reviewer: Amalia Selle
