A must-read collection for fans of Wright's Dragos Primeri series. From the author of SEASON OF THE DRAGON , a "reproduction" of character Quen's favorite storybook, complete with illustrations. This volume opens with The Saga of Ilkay , the short story Quen quotes in Season of the Dragon . Discover Ilkay's adventurous journey to the dragon's lair in this story that parallels Quen's. The story also reveals additional details about one of the dragons readers meet in Season of the Dragon . The volume also includes To Dance with Lumine , a short story in poetic form. This is the story that started it all—the first piece that Wright wrote while developing the world of the Dragos Primeri series. The collection ends with The Prince and the Peacock , a story about a prince reluctant to take on the mantle of king. When the prince abandons duty to frollick in the countryside, little does he realize that he'll find love in an unexpected place. With illustrations created by real artists (no AI images here) for each story, The Saga of Ilkay and Collected Stories allows readers to continue their stay in Menauld and the world of the Dragos Primeri series. The collection is appropriate for all ages, and makes a great storybook for families to enjoy together.
