Dragonsbane

Quatrième de couverture

When the Black Dragon seized the Deep of Ylferdun, young Gareth braved the far Winterlands to find John Aversin. Dragonsbane-the only living man ever the slay a dragon. In return for the promise of the King to send help to the Winterlands, Aversin agreed to attempt the nearly impossible feat again.

With them, to guard them on the haunted trip south, went Jenny Waynest, a half taught sorceress and mother of Aversin's sons.

But at the decadent court, nothing was as expected. Rebellion threatened the land. Zyerne, a sorceress of seemingly unlimited power, held the King under an evil spell, and he refused to see them. Meantime, the dragon fed will on the knights who had challenged him.

In the end, Aversin, Jenny, and Gareth had to steal away at night to challenge Morkeleb, largest and wisest of dragons.

But that was only the beginning of the perils they must face.
