Welcome to the City of Dragons!
A city that is very difficult to enter, but even more difficult to escape from its iron claws.
A city that holds secrets that can shake the foundations of civilization. Secrets that for centuries have rested in the darkness of oblivion. Secrets that might have been better off never seeing the light of day.
Professor Stanton's student arrives in Westernadan unwillingly and is immediately confronted with a shocking crime - in the mountains, on her way to her new home, she discovers the body of a girl murdered with inhuman cruelty. Who could have committed such a terrible crime? Why did the police instantly close the case, effectively accusing Miss Vaherty herself of murder? And why does the mayor, Lord Arnel, to whom all the circumstantial evidence points, remembers nothing of the night his bride died?
Miss Anabelle Vaherty begins her own investigation.

Taniel (The Taverner's Daughter I)
THE TAVERNER'S DAUGHTER - BOOK ONE FANTASY, MAGIC, DRAGONS, ROMANCE, WINGED WIZARDS. Please Note: The rest of this series will not be published until the complete series is drafted and revised - probably another four volumes over the next year. However, this book doesn't end on some really bad cliffhanger, and I think it has a satisfactory 'end' feel, so do read it if you wish. After mistaking a leather-clad wizard for a dragonrider, the taverner's daughter agrees to binding vows: Jarryd hopes for a magic-saving paternity spell but Taniel just wants his dragon. Of course, it is not that simple. It never is. Others have plans for Taniel and can do without Jarryd's interference. Taniel's father is little help, too busy dealing with a guilty conscious and pining for his missing wife. Add talking dragons, kidnappings, a gallivanting Grandmaster Wizard, a wicked stepfather, seductive shape shifting winged wizards, and midwitchery. Stir with rumour of plotting land-locked pirates, spies, feisty forest sprites, rockgoblins, and a failing magical barrier. Welcome to the world of A Corrangorachian Fantasy. SOME MILD MATURE MOMENTS (but maybe not enough to mark MATURE): A few not-particularly-graphic sex scenes. Violence? Could get nasty, depending on your perception. Drug Use? Pipe smoking, copious alcohol, and the odd potion. And some coarse language, of course.

And it isn't long before she learns what it meant to be the only woman Dragon Rider while discovering the evil behind the one person closest to her heart - poised to strike terror and darkness in the people of Athena.
