Talons and Threads: Stories from Fractured Everest
(2020)(A book in the Fractured Everest series)
A collection of stories by D H Dunn
HOPE HANGS ON BY A THREAD
He is the Thread, reluctant leader of the dragons. For centuries, he has driven by a single goal: the creation of a new dragon— one who would cast off the bonds built into them by their creator, a dragon who would be truly free, able to fly in whatever skies they desired.
After centuries, that dream is finally real and completely out of control.
Follow the Thread as he teams with Upala to save his offspring as well as the children the creature now threatens, while exploring the Thread’s dark history with the legendary Manad Vhan hero Orami and its surprising connection to the present.
Talons and Threads is a unique new novella set in the Fractured Everest world, told entirely from the legendary dragon’s perspective. Taking place after Dragons of Everest (Book 3), this story introduces elements that are further explored in The Unseen Key (Book 4) and Within the Hollow (Book 6).
Also collected here for the first time is a novella-sized outtake from Under Everest – a thirteen-chapter alternate opening with significant insights and reveals for Nima, Drew, and Wanda. Additional Included in this collection are two more short stories from Fractured Everest and three additional tales of speculative fiction, along with a free preview of The Fifth Interdictor!
Each story is accompanied with the author’s commentary and background as well.
