Call of the Dragon 1
Call of the Dragon 1
A Language of Dragons meets African mythology in a kingdom where dragon gods rule the earth and sky—until the gods are betrayed, and one girl embarks on a journey to save the world from war and ruin. From the New York Times bestselling author of Skin of the Sea.
The people are calling...
And the gods will answer.
Moremi has only ever known of two dragon gods watching over the prosperous Kingdom of Kwa. It is thanks to the great dragons that an unspeakable evil is kept at bay. But when someone tries to claim the gods' power for their own, the process goes dreadfully wrong and the world's darkest shadows are released.
Overnight, Kwa's ancient tales of monsters become all too real. After realising a strange affinity for both gods, Moremi is now Kwa's only hope for restoring their full strength.
But will Jagun, the mysterious prince, let her anywhere near the gods? And how does her childhood friend, Nox, feel about it all? In any case, if Moremi fails her quest, she risks the earth caving in and the sky crumbling down...
