Lord John Aversin--with the help of his mageborn wife, Jenny Waynest-- has fought and defeated two dragons, earning the title of Dragonsbane. But there are creatures more terrifying than dragons. Demonspawn from a dark dimension have learned to drink the magic--and the souls--of mages and dragons alike, turning their victims into empty vessels. And now they've stolen John and Jenny's mageborn son, twelve-year-old Ian. In desperation, John seeks the help of the eldest and strongest dragon: Morkeleb the Black. But the demons have allies, too: a vast army poised to plunge the Realm into civil war. In the coming struggle, Morkeleb will sacrifice what he values most. Jenny will question everything she trusts and believes in. And John will embark on a perilous quest for the only things capable of defeating such powerful demons--even more powerful demons . . .

Review:
It is Barbara Hambly's way to leave her imagined worlds aside, and go back when she has something new to say ... Dragonbane was always one of the very best of her books with its middle-aged witch and warrior-scholar, and a dragon taught that love which is not, normally, a thing of dragons. Hambly now revisits these characters a few years on--a new disaster strikes their world in the shape of dragon-riding mages. When John and Jenny's elder son becomes one of those mages, it is clear neither mages nor dragons can any longer call their souls safely their own. The emotional tone of what follows is surprisingly bleak, but punctuated by moments of comedy and charm; seeking an alliance with his former enemy, the dragon Morkeleb, John Aversin goes north among barren islands in an airship he has invented for the purpose. Nor is this the least likely alliance John has to form--this is a novel about exploring the limits in which the rules of the world Hambly created in the earlier book are constantly stretched and transgressed. It is sometimes assumed that this sort of heroic fantasy isalways and intrinsically cosy --Hambly proves otherwise. --Roz Kaveney
Review:
"She writes darn good books, our Barbara!"
--ANNE MCCAFFREY

"FIRST-RATE HIGH FANTASY . . . ELEGANT, INTELLIGENT, AND ENTERTAINING."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"I might be slightly prejudiced for dragons, and I am definitely prejudiced in favor of anything Barbara Hambly wants to do with her main characters, Lord John and Jenny . . . She handles the action with great skill and charm, and the universe with beautiful imagery."
--ANNE MCCAFFREY
