[Fractured Everest 0.9] • Talons and Threads · Stories

With the dragons caught between death and history, hope hangs on by a Thread.

He is the Thread, leader of the Dragons and a being whose entire life had been driven by one goal: the creation of a new dragon – who could cast off the bonds that had been built into them by their creator, one that would be truly free and able to fly in whatever skies they desired.

After centuries, that dream is finally real, and completely out of control.

Follow the Thread as he teams with Upala to try and save both his offspring as well as the children the creature now threatens while exploring the Thread’s dark history with the legendary Manad Vhan hero Orami, and its surprising connection to the present.

‘Talons and Threads’ is a unique novella set in the Fractured Everest world, told entirely from the legendary dragon’s perspective. Taking place after Dragons of Everest (Book 3), this story introduces elements that are further explored in both The Unseen Key (Book 4) as well as Within the Hollow (Book 6).

Featured in this collection as well: a brand-new Fractured Everest short story ‘Courage and Colonies’ – the prequel to the upcoming Within the Hollow, along with the never-before-released original opening to Under Everest!
