Dragon Hoard: Dragon Fairy Tales 1-6

by D.C. Harrell

Come not between a dragon and its sass! 

Hunger, cunning, smart-talk, blood-power, tenacity, and cocky composure power the adventures of six everyday champions as they battle sea-serpents and cryptids, dragons and way-drakes.

With the collected Dragon Fairy Tales, D.C. Harrell lures you through medieval forests and fetid swamps, African legends and Scottish highlands, but you’ll burn your fingers on this treasure trove if you’re seeking safe supergirls. These coming-of-age heroines defy expectations to stake their territory among dragon knights of the fantasy world.

Can Innkeeper’s Daughter trick the dragon into leaving his treasure and taking back his scales or will greed ruin her new home?

Will Rohi hunt the Red drakonile or will she die trying to save her family from ruin?

Can Fisherman’s sons fill their bellies with monster meat or will they pay their own pound of flesh?

Will Tungel wait for her lover to rescue their baby from the drake-take or will she save the child herself?

Can Stutter talk his brothers back to safety or will they be consumed?

Does Amma trust to targon-tradition or does she dare to believe her own eyes?

Drink your “desire for dragons” and discover if you, too, can filch fire from a dragon and survive.

About the author

Hi. I'm D.C. Harrell, fantasy author. My stories blend together my dueling desires to explore and to come home, and adventures at the intersection of science and spirit thrill my soul. I hope they capture yours, too.

Reading has always been my favorite form of entertainment (and education). My favorite authors include J. R. R. Tolkien, Edith Pargeter, Robin McKinley and Patrick Rothfuss. I guess the next best thing to crossing the threshold into another world is creating it.

As a speculative fiction author, my first love is dragons. In addition to the Dragon Fairy Tales (available now), the Araphel science fantasy vampire mystery series is also percolating. Readers call my stories “colorful, imaginative and whimsical.”

I grew up in Europe, Angola and the U. S. I have an undergraduate degree in biology and a Master of Divinity. These many cultures and studies nourish my imagination and so, my books and short stories.

I also write and teach spiritual practices and narrative theology (see dawnduncanharrell.com and tenwaystopray.com). As an editor, I’ve worked on both biblical studies and fiction. The healing arts fascinate me.

I love dogs and cats, but right now I’m owned by Briscoe the Cat. My husband is a foodie, so I eat very well, but if you hand me a piece of Swiss chocolate at the right moment, I’ll be your friend for life. My daughter is a cartoonist, who consumes graphic novels for breakfast.

If you want to geek out with me on the research for my books or get behind-the-scenes glimpses into the weird connections my brain is making between travel, baking, personal empowerment, biology and everything else, you can read those blogs here: dcharrell.com/blog/.

My favorite way to connect with other soul-thrillers is through email. Please sign into the Letter Lair at tinyurl.com/DCHarrellLetterLair for a free story and because I want to hear: What stories are you reading that #thrillyoursoul?
