A Cold White Home: Book Two of The Dragon's Treasure
Though she has been cured of her simple-mindedness by the mysterious link she shares with her dragon friend, Talorc, Cerys is no longer safe in the home of her royal birth. With Talorc as her sole companion and protector, she must find a way to live in the wilds, where it seems that everyone they encounter wants to kill them.
Ranging from the mountains of Gwynedd and into the even wilder northern lands of the savage and brutish Picts, they travel the length of post Roman Britannia in search of a safe haven where they might live their lives in peace. Amidst struggles for their very survival, and continually dogged by the nightmare figure of Hwch ddu Gwta, Cerys questions the dual mysteries of her father’s fate and the hints of Talorc’s treasure. Does he even have one? And if he does, might they use it to make their perilous lives just a bit easier?
Unknown to Cerys though, there is an even deeper, darker secret lurking behind her fog-shrouded past…one which will change everything should it ever be revealed.
‘A Cold, White Home’ is the second installment in ‘The Dragon’s Treasure Trilogy.’

This is the second book of the Dragon Treasure series. Cerys and Talorc try to make their way in a hostile world and find a place where they can live in peace without anyone trying to kill them and where Talorc can find his essential rocks. This is all against a realistic backdrop of 5th century history with a couple of Arthurian references thrown in.
Cerys develops her strength and survival skills. She misses what little real family she had and is constantly fascinated by humans, even after having to fight wild Picts for her life. She makes some hard decisions, especially after she discovers what actually happened to her lost father.
The writing is very good and to my joy, the story has a proper ending, although some things are left open for the next book. This is one of the rare series that keeps my interest and I will be following the last couple of books.

A Must-Read Follow
The second book of the Dragon's Trilogy, A Cold, a White Home was a perfect follow up in the series. This story was woven with great detail of the adventures of Cerys and Talorc with new characters you will grow to love with their honest and often funny exchanges and the other issues they face.
The story brings you through another important struggle in the life of Cerys as she chooses to assimilate into a life with people versus a solitary life with a dragon no one is sure exists. There are so many well written scenes throughout that will leave you in awe and keep you revisiting them in your mind.
This story is far more than a review can offer without giving too much away, but I am left impatiently waiting for the next release to find out what happens next.

What a ride
Another beautifully written work of art from Guy Donovan. Fantasy and history blended with blood and tears in life or death struggles. It helps if you have a dragon.
