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!

NEW BOOK for author Dawn Meredith REBEL, book 1 of the Flight trilogy

 I am SO EXCITED to share with you my latest book, for young adults, REBEL!


Here is the gorgeous cover! REBEL is about Reeve, a dragonkind youth. All his life he has been told it is forbidden for him and his kind to fly, despite them having the most glorious wings. The Meer, who are overlords in his country of Avendor, treat Dragonkind like slaves. But Reeve, being the daredevil prankster that he is, decides the law is STUPID and jumps off from Eagle Lookout to test his wings. That have never held his weight, mind  you.

What Reeve failed to realise was that not only would he be caught and punished, but his close friend Sye would also be imprisoned. And tortured. There is something very special about Sye that nobody knows. Not even herself. 

Lucian, the (evil dude), has been described as 'delightfully odious' by reviewer Craig Cormick. Anyway, Lucian hates Sye and everything she represents. She is a symbol of hope for her people and he can't have that interfere with his rise to power.

So he makes an example of Reeve by having him publicly flogged. 

Unknown to both Sye and Reeve there are Dragonkind living in secret in the forest called Valley of the Giants. These forest cousins, called The Red Branch, have been waiting for a hero to set them free, a war to end the Meer overlords. Recent events have forced their hand. So now they merge from their hiding place. And go to war. Reeve has a huge role to play in uniting both city and forest Dragonkind. Will he accept it? And how can he lead when his wing is broken? 

But Reeve is a rebel, after all. And rebels don't give up.
