Sand: The Way Out

Dragonlady #1

by C.M. Bratton

In a world where Good has been subdued and Evil reigns, old powers stir...

Deadforce rules in a decaying land, and Magick has grown weak. Atop his fortress of ice, the High Overlord sits secure on the decadent, agony-powered throne of his empire. Only in dreams does a thread of dragonforce live on.

Across the continent, a captive laborer Remembers hope and begins to dream. Yet to find the absent dragons and restore the Balance, this slave must risk everything to escape, enduring pain, humiliation, and haunting visions of the past.

But will the price become too high - and the scars too deep - before finding the way out?

[Diane Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I started this book while I was waiting to check out the book I actually wanted to read. I had no real intention of finishing it even. This book catches you by surprise, and you will find yourself reading it and forgetting to pay attention to your favorite TV show. I read almost nonstop until I finished the darn thing never once wondering if book 2 was out yet... One thing I do know, I will be in the line when the sequel comes out!
