Inhaltsangabe

They prey on human weakness.
Feed on human misery.
Revel in human pain.

Dragons. Masquerading as regular men and women, they walk unnoticed among their victims. But there are those who can see past the serpents' disguises. Simon St. George and his father, Aldric, the last living descendants of the legendary Saint George, drive fear into the hearts of the western dragons whom they hunt.

In the Far East, the St. Georges must face a new threat of Asian dragons, aided by the samurai, a group of warriors bound by a pledge to rid their land of the creatures. As the dragons stealthily prepare for an international annihilation, the two groups must join forces to save mankind.

Brimming with unforgettable dragon lore and exotic adventure, Jason Hightman's riveting sequel to The Saint of Dragons delves deeper into the raging war between humans and dragons.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jason Hightman lives in California with his wife, Kim, and young daughter, Hannah, who has the magical ability to make anyone laugh even on their dreariest days. After studying dragon hunting and alchemy at the University of Southern California, Hightman has spent the last few years doing battle with the serpents in Los Angeles, who use automobiles to clog motorways impenetrably. You can often find him in his armor, prowling for good books and hunting any nasty dragons disguised as cynical critics. He prays he never runs into the latter. Hightman hopes the Saint of Dragons series combines the best elements of old-fashioned swordplay adventure, Japanese comic books, cinematic action, heroic archetypes, and unusual villains—all things he likes in the stories he reads himself.
