The Pygmy Dragon (Shapeshifter Dragon Legends Book 1)
by Marc Secchia
in its Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged!
Here’s the set-up:
Yesterday, a Dragon kidnapped me from my cage in a zoo.
Stolen from her jungle home and sold to a zookeeper, Pip knows only a world behind bars, a world in which a Pygmy warrior and her giant ape friends are a zoo attraction. She dreams of being Human. She dreams of escaping to the world outside her cage.
Then, the Dragon Zardon kidnaps her into a new life. Pip rides Dragonback across the Island-World to her new school – a school inside a volcano. A school where Humans learn to be Dragon Riders. But this is only a foretaste of her magical destiny, for the Dragon Assassins are coming. They have floated an Island across the Rift and their aim is nothing less than the massacre of all Dragons.
Now, the courage of the smallest will be tested to the utmost. For Pip is the Pygmy Dragon, and this is her tale.
Series Note
The Pygmy Dragon is the first book in a companion series to Aranya and Shadow Dragon, the bestselling Shapeshifter Dragon series. Featuring stunning aerial battles and romance, Aranya is a fresh, gripping coming of age tale set in the same world 150 years on, when the Sylakian Empire rules the Island-World from the Rift to the frozen Islands of the north, and Dragons are fast becoming a fireside legend. But one Dragon lives – let evil beware.
Dragonfriend and Dragonlove can be read in any order alongside Aranya and The Pygmy Dragon.
5-star Amazon reviews:
“The Pygmy Dragon is a sweeping and majestic fantasy story that gives the reader a front row seat to a world full of one of fantasy’s all-star creatures: Dragons. As a lover of dragons and most things related, I’ve read my share of Dragon-related books, and this is a gleaming brush stroke in the Dragon-mosaic.”
“This was my first introduction to Marc Secchia’s writing, and to his fully-realised fantastical realm, which I believe is the setting for others of his novels. Little did I know what a treat was in store! Epic dragon-battles against beautifully described landscapes; ancient magic and mysterious lore; the warmth of genuine relationship and the wretched loneliness of being different; the bitter sting of betrayal; the power of forgiveness; the wonder of finding that we are loved.
