Older than time. More resolute than mountains. A darkness stirs, creating a flaw in the tapestry of creation only AnnieRah, the Goddess Reborn, can see.
After eons of plotting, the malevolent Most High Lord Draqshet unleashes his minions in a diabolical bid for supremacy. Unaware of their true identities and desperate to secure favour, his servants clash with their own kin. Contemptuous of all life, Draqshet will crush the feeble and install a hierarchy of hatred.
When rebellion brews within Annie's inner circle and friends turn against her, she must forge strange new alliances and navigate a path of truth through a thicket of deceit to defeat the Most High Lord Draqshet.
Fans of the mythic evil in Lim’s Six Crimson Cranes, and Sanderson’s expansive The Mistborn Saga will love Woodgarth’s DragonSkin series.
Meet Sam Woodgarth, a retired teacher who spends her days wrangling cats and talking to her imaginary friends. No, you didn’t misread that. But don’t worry, she’s not crazy, just a creative soul who grew up immersed in storybooks. Sam was devastated when she realised reality didn’t match the fictional worlds she read about. So, she did what any sane person would: she created her own worlds where the good guys always win, and the bad guys get their just desserts. Flambé style. She’s all about courage, honour, and wisdom, and she refuses to accept a world where fear, selfishness, and idiocy rule the day. Sam writes stories that speak to the unloved and dispossessed. Social justice is the lifeblood of her work. She’s all about belonging and compassion, and she believes that we’re one step closer to creating a better world if we can imagine a place where gender, religion, ethnicity, and age are accepted without question. Originally from rainy Manchester, UK, Sam moved to Cairns, Far North Queensland, in search of her tribe. She found them in her writers’ group, where she champions fellow authors and helps them find their authentic voices.
