About A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent

<p><em>You, dear reader, continue at your own risk. It is not for the faint of heart—no more so than the study of dragons itself. But such study offers rewards beyond compare: to stand in a dragon’s presence, even for the briefest of moments—even at the risk of one’s life—is a delight that, once experienced, can never be forgotten. . . .</em></p><p>All the world, from Scirland to the farthest reaches of Eriga, know Isabella, Lady Trent, to be the world’s preeminent dragon naturalist. She is the remarkable woman who brought the study of dragons out of the misty shadows of myth and misunderstanding into the clear light of modern science. But before she became the illustrious figure we know today, there was a bookish young woman whose passion for learning, natural history, and, yes, dragons defied the stifling conventions of her day.<br></p><p>Here at last, in her own words, is the true story of a pioneering spirit who risked her reputation, her prospects, and her fragile flesh and bone to satisfy her scientific curiosity; of how she sought true love and happiness despite her lamentable eccentricities; and of her thrilling expedition to the perilous mountains of Vystrana, where she made the first of many historic discoveries that would change the world forever. <br></p><p>Marie Brennan introduces an enchanting new world in <em>A Natural History of Dragons</em>.</p>Review<p>“Her Ladyship is a determined and canny woman in search of dragons—I wholeheartedly approve!”<br>—Melanie Rawn, bestselling author of <em>Touchstone, </em>on <em>A Natural History of Dragons</em><br></p><p>"Lady Trent is the Jane Goodall of dragonkind, and I’m glad she’s finally sharing her story with the world. From her first sparkling encounter to her discoveries in Vystrana, her memoir is sure to inspire the next generation of naturalists and dragon aficionados. This book makes me want to dissect something. In a good way."<br>—Jim C. Hines, author of <em>Libriomancer</em><br></p><p>"<em>A Natural History of Dragons</em> stands somewhere between Naomi Novik and Elizabeth Peters, but rock-solidly in its own world and on its own terms. It's intimate and unsentimental, greatly entertaining and thoroughly worked out; these are dragons you can actually believe in, lethal and endangered, hunted for sport and for science and for safety. Highly recommended."<br>—Daniel Fox, author of <em>Dragon in Chains</em></p>About the Author<p>MARIE BRENNAN habitually pillages her background in anthropology, archaeology, and folklore for fictional purposes. She is the author of the Onyx Court series and the Doppelganger duology of <em>Warrior</em> and <em>Witch,</em> as well as more than thirty short stories.</p></br></br></br></br></br></br></br>
