The Dragons Of Chiril
Before DragonSpell, on a different continent and a different time, a young emerlindian’s desperate decision threatens to disrupt the foundation of the world.1
Tipper has been caring for her family’s estate for years now, ever since her father disappeared, making a living by selling off his famous artwork. Then she learns that three statues she sold were carved from an ancient foundation stone, and the fabric of her reality is crumbling.
She must free her father and save the world. But she can’t do it alone.
Her ragtag band of adventurers includes Beccaroon, a giant parrot; Bealomondore, an aristocratic young artist; a handsome dragonkeeper prince; the Wizard Fenworth; and the tumanhofer librarian Librettowit. Together they travel through valleys and kingdoms and consort with purveyors of good and agents of evil to find and reunite the missing statues. Will they learn to rely on Wulder’s grace and guidance along the way?
Book 1 of the Dragons of Chiril series.

This is a deceptively light story. By that I mean it is an easy read, marketed to all ages, but with the feel of a young adult novel. And yet, the themes are big and crafted well. There is much to think about in this novel, even though the story, on the surface, is a feel-good, happy-ever-after type. I highly recommend this book to fans of the DragonKeeper Chronicles and any others who enjoy fantasy.
One thing to note:
I was already to buy this when I read the reviews at Amazon. Some kind person noted that this is just “The Vanishing Sculptor” with a different name. This is good to know, since I already have that book, and the next in this series, “Dragons of the Valley”.
Very good book, almost as good as the Dragon Keeper Chronicles (okay, perhaps I’m just saying that because I want another book about Kale… 😉
