Here There Be Dragons

Cover for Here There Be Dragons shows a large green bipedal dragon in chains surrounded by armed humans.

Here There Be Dragons edited by H. David Blalock (Hiraeth Publishing, June 2024)

Creatures of mystery, fascination, and imagination — dragons! Within this volume are tales to astonish, captivate, even frighten. Dragon furnaces, stage dragons, captured dragons, dragon combat… Just about anything can be told about dragons, but all of it appeals to our sense of adventure. Here there be dragons. Mind the flames.

This anthology includes my short story “Stage Magic”, which takes place in the same setting as the Daughter of Magic trilogy and upcoming Tales from Deep River prequel series. It takes place about 15 years after Death’s Midwife and features Luskell’s younger brother Crett as he seeks to become a wizard and help out his actor friends at the same time.
