Hooked on First Change; The Chosen One #MFRWauthor #MFRWHooks
The dragshi are more than just a man or woman. Each are two beings–one a dragon, the other a human–sharing one body in space in time and able to change forms with the other at will. Their world and the adventures of the dragon shifters are recorded in the Dragshi Chronicles
Within each of the chronicles, the ceoltiers, the keepers of the past and teachers of the present, recount some legend. As with all such tales, some contain larger than life deeds. Others are the simple story of a man or woman doing what must be done, regardless of the cost. Sometimes embellished, the ceoltiers use the stories of times and actions past to educate and inspire.
Unlike the previous works in the series which related to the trader girl Anastasia and Lord Branin Llewlyn, First Change features the real story behind the legends told in the previous volumes. First Change contains five stories of duty and honor, love and loss, happiness and despair from the chronicles. As with all such tales, some contain larger than life deeds. Others are the simple story of a man or woman doing what must be done, regardless of the cost.
Excerpt from Fire and Ice:
Others supplicants can be heard, but not me. My petition will never be made.
Resentment threatened her control, to release the tears. Wrapped in the dignity of her rank, Mirabeesh held them at bay. I am Empress. I fear no man—or god, the woman in the gong declared. But the red eyes hidden behind the veil proclaimed the truth. She was afraid to die.
