The Brass Wyvern - Paperback

by Bronte-Marie Wesson (Author)

How, exactly, do you steal a dragon?

The holy city of Muqdah is falling. For days, the priests of the First Temple have argued amongst themselves - despite the cracks growing in the city's magical shields. But fighting the Imperial army could mean the sacrifice of Muqdah's dragons. Only one among their number believes it worth the risk ... and the lone voice of a pregnant woman falls on deaf ears.

In the great Imperium, a slave named Zuri escapes into the night. Arriving on the doorstep of the Brass Wyvern, she discovers kinship, safety - and an unexpected purpose. When the bedworkers there hear of her captors' caged dragon, a plan is hatched: free the beast, right history's wrongs.

As Imperial magic and ancient bloodlines collide, an oppressed people start to make their voices heard. But not everyone sees eye-to-eye on justice, and a royal heist is easier said than done.

The Brass Wyvern is a witty fantasy epic with anti-colonialist vibes, queer love, feminine rage, found family, and of course - sweet, sweet revenge.
