Hooked on First Change, Shadowed Night #mfrwhooks #mfrwauthor

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 Magic and Steel:

Rays from the setting sun turned the cobbles of the street a dull orange. The mass of bustling bodies in the street flowed in a kaleidoscope of color towards the lakefront—and the festival. Kedar noted a face here or there. Some were guild members acting as additional protection for Mairin. Others set off his internal alarms, and he made a mental note to mention them to Birog. At the guild briefing, the masters had warned that the raiders had struck again—and close by, in the next valley over.

The soft scuff of leather on stone floors shifted his attention and he turned and looked into the shadowed interior.
