In the Time of Dragon Moon

By Janet Lee Carey

Book Overview

Fans of Red Queen , Seraphina, and A Court of Thorns and Roses will love this epic fantasy about dragons, dark secrets, and magic. On the southernmost tip of Wilde Island--far from the Dragonswood sanctuary and the Pendragon Castle--live the native Euit people. Uma, who is half Euit and half English, and not fully accepted by her tribe, wants to become a healer like her Euit father. But the mad English queen in the north, desperate for another child, kidnaps Uma and her father and demands that he cure her barrenness. After her father dies, Uma must ensure that the queen is with child by the time of the Dragon Moon, or be burned at the stake. Terrified and alone, Uma reaches out to her only possible ally: the king's nephew Jackrun, a fiery dragonrider with dragon, fairy, and human blood. Together, they must navigate through a sea of untold secrets, unveil a dark plot spawned long ago in Dragonswood, and find a way to accept all the elements--Euit, English, dragon, and fairy--that make them who they are.

Stand alone story with lovely characters

All three books in the Wilde Island Chronicles are stand alones; they just take place in the same land. It’s unnecessary to read them in order. This is my favorite in the series. The heroine, Uma, tugs at my heartstrings as she tries to be the son her father always longed for. I’m half in love with Jackrun Pendragon, he’s so valiant! I highly recommend all the books in this series. I hope Janet Lee Carey writes more of them.
