(Author)Description
Wing Wind
The land withers under the pall of Draigon Weather, ushering in a new Sacrifice in the trading town of Melbis.
Cleod, lead sword of Kilras Dorn's renowned caravan, finds himself haunted by his failures and the shadow of long-departed Leiel. Shaa, the Draigon that broke and nearly killed him, has returned, and the need for revenge ignites his soul. Now he must choose between two lives--that of solace and friendship or that of violence and death. Whether to be a trusted guardian or a Draigon slayer.
Far to the north, the Draigon share old teachings, laughter, and heartache. Hard lessons prepare the newest of them for the role she will claim. Then, time-honored treaties between Draigon and Draighil are violated, threatening everything the Draigon protect. Now they must decide which is of greater need--continuing the secrets held for centuries or exposing the truth of their existence.
For knowledge, the Draigon know and Cleod will come to understand, can raise a storm to shake the very future of Arnan.

About the Author
Reviews
Advance Praise for Wing Wind
"Two fast friends, welded by choice and fate to an incompatible dynamic--and a love that will try the depth and scope of their human destinies as never before. A powerful second book for a brand new series."
--Janny Wurts, author of the Wars of Light and Shadow series
"Christie's second novel hums with tension, as Leiel and Cleod rush headlong towards their opposing destinies with heartbreaking inevitability. Christie's intense characterisation and masterful use of atmosphere make Wing Wind a joy to devour. Themes of storytelling and sisterhood are further developed, as are the violent consequences of a rigid gender divide. All serving to highlight, of course, Wing Wind's moments of peace and reflection, which are delivered with hope for a future that may not yet be lost. A truly superb sequel to Draigon Weather."
--Lucy Hounsom, author of The Worldmaker Trilogy
Praise for Draigon Weather
"A tightly focused first installment that delivers a delightful twist on the classic folk tale of appeasement by sacrifice, seen through the eyes of two immersive, engaging characters and rewarding the reader with a gripping promise of more to come."
--Janny Wurts, author of the Wars of Light and Shadow series
"Draigon Weather deftly takes those tried and tested tropes--the gallant dragonslayer, the damsel in distress--and turns them on their head. It's a beautifully measured, compelling tale of two young people struggling against the roles society has forced upon them. It's also a moving anthem to the power of stories and the deepest bonds of sisterhood. Christie brings her world to life through earthy, honest storytelling, which is a pleasure to read. I can't wait for Book Two."
--Lucy Hounsom, author of The Worldmaker Trilogy
"This is an epic in the real sense of the word, in the same way that the best Westerns focused on a few fully fleshed out characters in a brilliant widescreen landscape, highlighting personal triumphs and tragedies far more than massed battles. Draigon Weather is a thoughtful and clever retooling of the concept of sacrifice."
--Steven Poore--Fantasy Faction, author of Heir to the North and The High King's Vengence
"Christie's skillful evocation of a disintegrating landscape and the dysfunctional society grappling with that disaster is worth being patient for, as is Cleod's gritty, desolate perseverance."
