Join me on my latest adventure, as two years of work and eighteen years of worldbuilding culminate in my first completed novella. Complete with a detailed map, calendar and illustrations, all beautifully hand-drawn by the talented Hilary James.

Farmer Bundon never dreamed of fancy. But when, by chance, he discovers a fald’s egg in the hedgerows—a dragon’s smaller, uglier cousin—fancy seems determined to find him regardless.

He and his daughter, Tyr’Dalka, are unwillingly drawn into a conflict where his humble wisdom, her boundless honesty and one cowardly fald must contend with the more contemptible shadows of humankind: the dark fires of avarice, pride and wrath.
