A hunter tracks her prey. Winds whip driving ice. Blood mars the snow. Through the blinding whiteness, the dragon's shadow looms...

A fiery woman recruits an egotistical dragon to save her village... A hatchling and his mother struggle to flee a poisoned swamp... A pup and his father wander a lonely desert... A story within a story within a story... A zany comedy, a tear-jerking tragedy, a reality bending villain, and an ever-spiraling mystery... Revaramek the Resplendent has become all these things, and more. And it all began as my first ever NaNoWriMo novel. seemingly innocuous, completely off the wall fantasy-comedy with a story-obsessed dragon, a hot-tempered heroine, surreal humor and way too much witty banter. I embraced the NaNoWriMo spirit, and tried to write a complete novel in just one month. I posted as I wrote, with no time for editing or revision, and fully expected the story to collapse under its own weight. Instead, it became something remarkable that was never what I thought...The comedy was only ever a smokescreen... For the time being, this blog contains the still-unedited rough draft of Book 1, in which the story remained a comedy...mostly. In time, I'll edit and revise it, and post books 2 and 3, as well.

All her life, the dragon Ellamyriss has protected her people's ancient valley. Through tragedy and triumph, she has remained steadfast. Ella has witnessed the glory of her people, she has watched her son grow and leave home, and she has seen the greatest of her species shot from the sky one, by one. Through it all, she upheld her vow to keep her beloved homeland safe. Now, a sudden, heartrending tragedy throws all she believes into turmoil, and Ella faces an impossible choice. Will she stay and die for her valley? Or will she cast aside the cycle of vengeance, and join with her enemies simply to survive?
