Nothing is more deadly than a wounded dragon. Jhavika Keshmir stood on the cusp of greatness...until Captain Kevril Longbright stole her weapons of conquest. But the loss of her hand, her enchanted scourge, and her truthsayer did not defeat Jhavika, it only enraged her. Now her only goal is to take back what is hers and to kill the pirate captain in the process. Kevril flees across the Blood Sea with Jhavika close in his wake. Devastated by the changes wrought upon his beloved Preel by the scourge's enchantment, he vows to abolish Jhavika's burgeoning reign of slavery and blood if it is the last thing he ever does. And it may well be, considering the truthsayer's unsettling answer to his question of where they must go to destroy the scourge. Torn by conflicting emotions and memories, Preel seeks release from her magical torment. An unexpected ally offers an uneasy choice: a life of heart-rending sentiment or the solace of oblivion. Now all must confront their deepest nightmares in the magical maelstrom of the Serpent's Eye...
Author
From the sea to the stars, Chris A. Jackson’s stories take you to the far reaches of the imagination. Raised on the back deck of a fishing boat and trained as a marine biologist, he became sidetracked by a career in biomedical research, but regained his heart and soul in 2009 when he and his wife Anne left the dock aboard the 45-foot sailboat Mr Mac to cruise the Caribbean and write fulltime. With his nautical background, writing sea stories seemed inevitable for Chris. His acclaimed Scimitar Seas nautical fantasies won three consecutive Gold Medals in the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards. His Pathfinders Tales from Paizo Publishing combine high-seas combat and romance set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Not to be outdone, Privateer Press released Blood & Iron, a swashbuckling novella set in the Iron Kingdoms. Chris’ repertoire also includes the award-winning and Kindle best-selling Weapon of Flesh Series, the contemporary urban fantasy Dragon Dreams, as well as additional fantasy novels, the humorous sci fi Cheese Runners trilogy of novellas, and numerous short stories.
