[Return to Nevèrÿon 02] • Neveryóna

**In this novel of Nevèrÿon, a girl takes off on a dragon’s back for an adventure of amazement and wonder**

One of the few in Nevèrÿon who can read and write, pryn has saddled a wild dragon and taken off from a mountain ledge. Self-described as an adventurer, warrior, and thief, in her journey pryn will meet plotting merchants, sinister aristocrats, half-mad villagers, and a storyteller who claims to have invented writing itself. The land of Nevèrÿon is mired in a civil war over slavery, and pryn will also find herself—for a while—fighting alongside Gorgik the Liberator, from whom she will learn the cunning she needs as she journeys further and further south in search of a sunken city; for at history’s dawn, some dangers even dragons cannot protect you from.

The second volume in Samuel R. Delany’s Return to Nevèrÿon cycle, *Neveryóna *is the longer of its two full-length novels. (The other is *The Tale of Plagues and Carnivals*.) An intriguing meditation on the power of language, the rise of cities, and the dawn of myth, markets, and money, it is a truly wonder-filled adventure.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Samuel R. Delany including rare images from his early career.
