Dragontamer's Daughters

Two girls find a tiny dragon on the verge of death. Can they save its life? Can it save their family? In an alternate Old West, Isabella and Alijandra live exiled with their parents in the high desert. Years before, the girls’ father caught, tamed, and trained dragons for the Emperor’s armies, but now he is an outlaw, blamed for the deaths of thousands. Finding a small, injured dragon, the girls take her home and begin tending her back to health, naming her “Pearl,” because of her eyes. As time goes on and Pearl begins to heal, the family learns more about her and the strange and terrifying abilities she possesses. But time is running out for the girls, their parents, and for Pearl herself. Soon, they will be forced to contend with the native people on whose lands they live. With the ambitious governor whose soldiers hunt the girls’ father. With a man who has no name but wields immense, eerie powers. With Pearl’s yearning to fulfill the journey that accidentally brought her to the girls. And with their own dreams and wishes for a life they once lived—and might live again. If you're a fan of dragons, DRAGONTAMER'S DAUGHTERS has them like you've never seen before. Get it now! What Readers Are Saying: "ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! A must read! I couldn't put it down! The writing style is refreshingly original and the characters are well developed, multi layered and intensely charming. You get lost in the story, as with all truly great works of fiction. A great choice for 12-15 year olds who enjoy science fiction and fantasy. Great book!" "A dazzling tapestry of words and creativity in a world unlike any I've read before. The characters are real and engaging; the dragons are diverse and fascinating." "This book is entirely what is needed in American literature today. Everyone can find a bit of themselves in these characters, be it coming to grips with one's past, finding courage in the face of something foreign, or even simply holding on to one's 'self' in a whirlwind of moral quandaries. Younger readers will also get a lot out of the story. Isabella and Ali aren't girls that wait around for a prince or dream of owning seven shopping malls: they play pretend and like spiders and books. These characters are the children that they're supposed to be, as opposed to the miniature adults that masquerade as protagonists in most writing for adolescents today." "As fantasy goes, this is one of the most captivating I've read in a long time. These dragons are incredibly vivid and powerful. There are several different species and they're developed to the point that you can actually visualize their smell and texture. The portrayal of the dragons alone makes this a worthwhile read."
