They say there are no more dragons, but Granny Maberly knows better. At ninety-four turns old, Granny's seen more than her share of strange beings in her travels as matriarch to her headstrong Wagonwalker clan. And she's lived long enough to know that not all monsters have horns (or tusks). Immortal Tarn who fall woefully short of legend; cannibal Moraggim who haunt the Splintered Mountains; Sulg war bands; enchanted forests; magisters who won't listen; healers who hide their gifts and even a Tower that eats souls - the Island of Dragonish harbours them all.
