None can resist.But Marshal Re’akka and his all-conquering Dragon Assassins are not the only trouble on the horizon.

She dreamed of being Human. She is more. Much more.Now, Dragon wings darken the dawn. Diminutive. Sassy. Full of fire and great heart. As Pip and her friends chart a perilous path in search of the secrets of her heritage, they will find a power of old reborn in the smallest of Dragons. One will stand against evil.She is Onyx, mighty of paw and deed. She is the laughter of starlight, and she will never allow evil to prevail. Let Dragons thunder! Let the battle commence!Series NoteThe Onyx Dragon is the sequel to The Pygmy Dragon and is set in the same world as my epic Dragon adventures Dragonfriend, Dragonlove, Aranya, Shadow Dragon and Dragon Thief. I recommend reading Aranya and Shadow Dragon (the Shapeshifter Dragons series) after this if you haven't already. By the end of The Onyx Dragon, you'll know why. less
