The fantastic sequel to series one of the high fantasy Dirt
Deoram Ham is a beautiful little village in the far south of Bind, a peaceful, simple community perfect for dragon riders who miss the dragons and want to live a life far from the wars they fought.
It is not to last, and as new threats emerge, fighting is not now an option; the only solution is to escape to the beautiful island of Hope.
Johnson Farthing, the former general and now farmer, has no choice but to travel north once more to find a boat.
Includes the short story Mistry's Tale, the prelude to Dirt, Series 2.
Farthing put his hand up for them to stop.
"What is it?" Silvi whispered. She had started riding next to him in the last hour as she slowly recovered from her embarrassment and fear.
"Over there," he said, pointing. "Those are deer."
"They are very small!"
"Scrubland Deer," Seb said quietly, riding up on the other side of the girl. "Go on, Silvi. I have seen you get a small boar with your bow. You can get one of those. They make great eating."
"You think?" She looked nervously at the two men, both of whom for different reasons she felt she must impress.
"I think you should try," Farthing said. "Get down so you are stable, I will hold your horse."
"What if I miss?"
"Then it is beans again."
Silvi concentrated, trying to ignore her audience of two men and six horses as she notched the hunting arrow and pulled the string back. She took a slow breath as she brushed her cheek with the string. "Come on Silvi," she said to herself. "He is watching, you can do this, you know you can." Feeling her mouth going dry she aimed at the lower chest of the deer standing closest to her and let fly.

11 books52 followersOne way or another I have spent far too many years playing with words; by too many I mean I am completely addicted now and can't do anything else.
I have been in the media most of that time, cooked quite a lot of the time and played guitar some of the rest of the time.
I am medium height, not pretty and talk far too much. You will only want me round to dinner if I agree to cook it for you.
I love lovers.

After the constant wars, betrayals, battles and death, it’s time for the peace the beautiful village of Deoram Ham provided. Populated by former warriors, dragon riders and their allies, simple townsfolk are building a new community and a new life. Johnson Farthing is now a farmer, free from the horrors of sending his friends to death as a General in a war he was ill-prepared to lead. Have the people finally found a place that war can never touch? Have they found a place where everyone is treated equal?
When news comes that war is about to beat on their doorsteps once again, Farthing must take up the leadership and lead his people to safety, but first he needs a boat that can take them across the waters in search of another slice of peaceful paradise, the island of Hope.
After the turmoil and bloodshed in the past, C.C. Hogan brings us a short tale of Farthing’s continued search for peace for his people. They no longer wish to be soldiers, the dragons have their own lives and the power of friendship and loyalty have created a false sense of security that is about to be shattered.
C.C. Hogan has created a world where his characters guide him with their words and actions. Honorable characters, characters with deep inner strength and Hope for a better future make this piece of the tales of Dirt a wonderful breather after the violence, bloodshed and heartache of the first trilogy.
I received this copy from C.C. Hogan in exchange for my honest review. (and, yes, I did read this out of order, I NEEDED to see where things went)

A great continuation of a epic series
I give this book five stars as the writing and story line are so well written. We get to follow Farthing and Mistry's journey beyond the series in a bittersweet, heart rending way. I could feel the emotions of the characters,something that's hard to do but Hogan pulls it off masterfully. I look forward to more short stories and series two.
