The Summer Dragon: First Book of the Evertide (Evertide, 1) - Tapa dura

The master of dragon art brings the same skills to dragon storytelling. This is a compelling, fully realized story which is as detailed and exciting as anything since the Pern tales. A sure winner. Terry Brooks, New York Times-bestselling author of the Shannara novels
It's no surprise that Todd Lockwood can build a wonderful setting and world he does it with his art all the time. But what strikes me about The Summer Dragon is that the shining elements of this novel are the characters. Using words instead of his paintbrush, Todd builds characters you care about, laugh with and cheer for. R. A. Salvatore, New York Times-bestselling author of The Legend of Drizzt
Packed with action and fully-developed characters, both human and scaly, Summer Dragon is a dragon for all seasons. Alan Dean Foster, author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Todd Lockwood s dragons come to life on the page: more than animals, different from humans, and beautifully plausible without losing their fantastic touch. The Summer Dragon offers a welcome new take on the dragon-riding genre. Marie Brennan, author of The Natural History of Dragons
Renowned artist Todd Lockwood shares his debut novel at last, a written work as vivid as the dragons he so loves to paint. Shawn Speakman, author of The Dark Thorn
The master of dragon art brings the same skills to dragon storytelling. This is a compelling, fantastically-wrought adventure story, and Maia, the brave, intelligent, but flawed heroine, someone you can really root for. And the dragons? Oh, the dragons! Lou Anders, author of Frostborn
I loved The Summer Dragon! I couldn't put it down, even though I should have been working on my own book. Kristen Britain, New York Times-bestselling author of Green Rider"

The debut novel from the acclaimed illustrator--a high fantasy adventure featuring dragons and deadly politics.

Maia and her family raise dragons for the political war machine. As she comes of age, she hopes for a dragon of her own to add to the stable of breeding parents. But the war goes badly, and the needs of the Dragonry dash her hopes. Her peaceful life is shattered when the Summer Dragon—one of the rare and mythical High Dragons—makes an appearance in her quiet valley. The Summer Dragon is an omen of change, but no one knows for certain what kind of change he augurs. Political factions vie to control the implied message, each to further their own agendas.

And so Maia is swept into an adventure that pits her against the deathless Horrors—thralls of the enemy—and a faceless creature drawn from her fears. In her fight to preserve everything she knows and loves, she uncovers secrets that challenge her understanding of her world and of herself.
