Velika was the name of her other wolfhound, a beautiful animal who sadly passed away not long after Dragon Slippers came out. Pippin is my little Maltese, Azarte is my sister’s Russian wolfhound.
For one thing, both Azarte and Pippin are real life dogs. In almost every book the name of a person or place is sort of a private joke that I added. And of course, right as I was shutting down my laptop for the night, the entire story of Dragon Slippers just downloaded into my brain! I knew every line, every name, every dragon and what they hoarded. So of course he went to bed that night without any fuss. I had been struggling to get published for nine years, and now I had been rejected 187 times and had a baby who cried from exhaustion all night but wouldn't sleep! One night, very tired, my husband and I decided that I would take a break from writing for a while, and just focus on our son and trying to get him to sleep. My son, our oldest child, has worried since the day he was born that if he goes to sleep, he'll miss out on something. For in a country on the verge of war, Creel unknowingly possesses not just any pair of shoes, but a tool that could be used to save her kingdom…or destroy it. And it’s Creel who walks for days on end to seek her fortune in the king’s city with only a bit of embroidery thread and a strange pair of slippers in her possession.īut even Creel could not have guessed the outcome of this tale. Yet it’s Creel who talks her way out of the dragon’s clutches. True, when Creel’s aunt suggests sacrificing her to the local dragon, it is with the hope that the knight will marry Creel and that everyone (aunt and family included) will benefit handsomely. Many stories tell of damsels in distress, who are rescued from the clutches of fire-breathing dragons by knights in shining armor, and swept off to live happily ever after.
Creel's happily ever after just might be postponed.
When Creel and Luka rush to help, they discover that Luka's father has plans to take back the Far Islands from the dragons. But then the dragon queen, Velika, is kidnapped by a band of rogue dragons in need of a ruler. So what better time for Creel and Luka to plan their wedding. For the first time in centuries it seems dragons and humans might be able to live together in peace. As far as Creel is concerned, all is finally right with the world. The third and final installment in New York Times bestselling author Jessica Day George's dragon fantasy series races to a dramatic finale.
