Another from the prolific and multi-talented Janet Lane Walters. This tale is the next part of an on-going series set in a colorful, sexy, dangerous fantasy world which put me in mind of fantasy in the tradition of Conan the Barbarian. Here we have telepathic dragons, who have many magical properties in their enchanted hides and who were my favorite characters. There are also high priestesses, wizards, and warlords all warring with one another, seeking control over the world and seeking to turn the sentient beautiful dragons into mere commodities--their hides have proved to be magically valuable. The heroine is strong, inventive and brave. The hero is a wounded warrior, recovering all his faculties after enslavement as a teen-ager. The villain--well, I'm waiting for him to get his in the next installment. This is very readable and would make a great graphic novel

Relatable characters, comprehensive world building, and of course, dragons make this a fast-paced, fun read.

Excerpt:

            Drakon halted his horse at the end of the pass and stared at the collection of houses and the fields beyond.  Last night he and his companion had ridded well past moonrise so they could reach the village this morning.  Fall had arrived.  Reds, yellows and oranges blazed across the hills.

            Why had this village remained untouched?  Ten years ago, the lord of Sea Cliff had attacked High Peaks and ravaged the villages closest to the tower.  Of the three settlements sworn to High Peaks only this one remained.  The answer had to be treachery.   Drakon wondered if he would learn the names of the traitors.

            *You will not,*  the Old One said.  *They are dead.*

            Drakon tightened his hold on the reins.  Every time the ancient yellow dragon spoke to him, he felt warmth and delight.  Years ago, his inability to speak to the dragons had doomed him to ten years as a slave.  *I wish they were alive so I could see to their punishment.  Their treason made me Lagon’s prisoner and a thing to be sold to the priestesses.*

            *Better a slave than living under the evil one’s control the way the heirs of the other towers do.*

            A year had passed since Drakon’s escape from the temple of Fyre.  Though he had sworn to see the man died, the lord of Sea Cliff Tower remained alive.  A need for vengeance invaded Drakon’s thoughts.  His family, his near kin and innocent villagers had been slaughtered on that dreadful day.

            *Patience,*  the Old One said.

            “Behold the lush growth of the fields,”  His companion drew his steed to Drakon’s side.  “Look at the height and fullness of the fyrethorns.  The harvest will be abundant.”  He raked his fingers through his gray-tinged brown hair.

            Drakon shook his head.  “I see but do we need all this for one dragon?”

            Radlan shrugged.  “Who are we to cry about good fortune?  There are few dragons in the land.  From what I have heard there are five pair at Sea Cliff and none at the other three towers.”

            Drakon’s jaw clenched.  His desire for revenge flared anew.  If only there was a way to defeat Lagon and free the High Peaks dragons.

            *Have faith.  There will be more dragons at our tower.*

            Some of Drakon’s tension ebbed.  *First patience and now faith.  I’ll try.  Before I gain those virtues, there’s a harvest to be completed.*  He prodded the steed with his heels and the horse trotted down the trail into the village.

            As Drakon dismounted the headman bustled across the commons with a hand extended in welcome,  “My lord.”
