RUNAWAY book 2 of the Flight trilogy!!!

 

RUNAWAY is finally here! The sequel to REBEL, the first in this epic fantasy story, is finally born! 


Sye, a girl of secrets, is tormented by a fierce, thundering voice in her head, which turns out to be an angry dragon trying to communicate with her. As The Golden One she has been told she has a destiny, as the bringer of turmoil and change to her people, Dragonkind, who have been under the oppressive rule of the Meer for a hundred years. But the burden of this destiny feels too heavy. The dragon demands she help him find long lost kin in the frozen northern kingdom of Shagrath, a place of unknown dangers. And for what? What is this dragon, Ballickh Ry, to her? And yet the thrill of a new challenge, far away from her home and all its responsibilities is appealing. Sye is torn between duty, her love of two brothers, and her destiny. The only option is to run away from it all.
 
Included in the back of the book is an updated Dictionary of Avendor, with words from the FOUR LANGUAGES - Avendorean, spoken by the invading Meer, Coronet, spoken by Dragonkind, Gillen Ockh, spoken by dragons and the Vish language. 
 
IN ADDITION!
Right at the back of the book is a teaser, the first chapter of book three - RENEGADE. Enjoy!

REBEL Bk one of the FLIGHT trilogy by Dawn Meredith

 GREAT NEWS!
The second edition of my 2020 novel, Rebel, is now live! 
 
This is a new, improved version, with internal drawings by yours truly and an updated Avendor dictionary of the three languages in the book. Isn't it stunning? I am very happy with what the book designer, Peter L has come up with - even better than last time!

So, what is it about?
Dragonkind are humans with glorious wings, but as a slave race to the invading Meer, are forbidden to fly. Reeve is a born rebel, son of the Supreme Commander. As a half-blood, he has certain privileges, but after he hurls himself off a cliff and flies over Avendor, he is arrested and tortured. What follows is a war between Dragonkind and Meer and his homeland, his family and his friends are never the same again. Can a rebel with a broken wing lead his people to freedom from a hundred years of slavery and despair? It's going to take something special. Prepare yourself for ridiculous stunts and crazy humour as Reeve struggles to grow up fast enough to become a war leader.
 
 
I'm gearing up for book two - RUNAWAY, which is coming very soon!

ELKWOOD by Dawn Meredith - Urban Science Fiction novel for teens

 

My newest book, ELKWOOD, is available now! It's an urban science fiction novel exploring the idea of transhumanism. Does that sound a bit mad? Well, it may not be that far into the future. What does an ordinary teenage girl have to do with transhumanism, the evolution of the human species into something new? Well, you'll have to read the book to find out! 

Charlotte is an unusual heroine because she is not that likeable at first. She is all about faking it - being popular, high fashion and keeping her underlings under control. But when she uncovers a secret about herself, the facade plummets and her carefully constructed world shatters. She is not who she always thought she was. It's going to take guts and sheer force of will to fix this gigantic shift in her life. But at what price? Her beloved father is in danger. A ruthless organisation, Elkwood, is after her DNA. Is she strong enough to do the unthinkable?
