When humans became prey...

Set in the prehistory of the Cloud Lands world, “Dragon Prey” tells the story of how humans and dragons met for the first time.

Their early encounters are anything but auspicious. Humans and their livestock become the prey of invading “firebeasts”.

Sidren's clan is hanging on, helped by her unusual talent. She can sense the emotions of those firebeasts, allowing her to warn her clan of an impending attack and seek shelter.

Even so, their numbers dwindle, and trips to the burial cave have become too frequent.

What will it take for them to survive?

Love, forgiveness, survival, and dragons

5 stars

A very hopeful, love-affirming book about an old healer who not only establishes communication with dragons, but actually saves her people by building friendships with the creatures that had once thought of humans as nothing but prey.

There is much forgiveness, but also an understanding of the necessity of accepting with offered forgiveness has been refused.

As other reviews noted there's a lot of well-written fights, but for me love, forgiveness, and new lives from the ashes of old are the heart of the story.

Review of 'Dragon Prey' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A fascinating look into the world where humans and dragons are still strangers to each others.
And considering the title of the book, I'll leave it up to you who's winning so far.

This was a really good read, with lots of action, a great pace, real people to believe in, and of course: dragons. If you think any dragons is a good dragon, think again. Read up on the things Sidren and her tribe face and then you'll know.

Definitely a commendable book for people into fantasy, dragons and human(ish) relations.
