Sea Dragon Heir

First in the Magravandias Chronicles from the author of the Wraeththu series, "a literary fantasist of outstanding power and originality" (Michael Moorcock).

In a world beyond time, the Palindrake family ruled the rocky kingdom of Caradore, their right ordained by their allegiance to the power of the sea. But war came to them—and defeat—at the hands of the king of Fire.

The Palindrakes were beaten, but not lost. For the lady of Caradore protected the secret rituals of the family's bond to the sea. And in time, the reign of the Sea Dragons would rise again . . .

And now, five lifetimes later, the Palindrake heir, Vlraven V, has a twin sister, a woman who embodies their inheritance of power in a way that no wife ever could. The tidal force in their blood draws them to each other, into a forbidden passion that could sweep away the bonds of fire placed upon the oceanic magic of the sea—and free Caradore from its long imprisonment.
