Good news. I finally got the cover for Brass Dragon Codex which is due to come out January 2009. It's kind of the comical adventure for the series. In this picture the young brass dragon, Kyani, sits on a valuable painting, trying to decide if he's going to eat it or not. But what he's really hungry for is companionship.
 
Kyani's search for friendship leads him to the gnome, Hector, who ventures across the desert to complete an invention that will fulfill his life quest. But Hector's new invention is far more valuable and dangerous than he realizes, and many forces plan to take it out of his hands--dwarves, knights, a clever thief, and a colossal blue dragon. Hector and Kyani must work together to complete the invention before they lose everything, including their lives.

 


Don't miss this stunning adventure written by Rebecca Shelley, assistant scribe to R.D. Henham.


Red Dragon Codex is fun tale of wonder, adventure, and dragons aplenty. R.D. Henham is a fine new storyteller, off to a very promising start.”

             —David Farland, New York Times best-selling author
 

“Aided by almost unprecedented access to the Restricted Research Section in the Great Library at Palanthas, R. D. Henham has crafted an exciting tale with many facets: young adventurers risking their lives as they come of age, ancient dragons clashing in a centuries-old battle, secret identities, hidden motives, startling betrayals, and abiding loyalties. Layer by layer, all are revealed in a story that builds steadily toward a taut and thrilling climax.”

            —Douglas Niles, author of The Rise of Solamnia trilogy

 

Red Dragon Codex will appeal to readers of all ages. Populated with wonderful characters—Mudd, Sleekwing, Kirak, Hiera, and more—it presents a whimsical, dangerous journey that races to a satisfying end. A well-written and well-rounded tale that made me smile.”

            —Jean Rabe, author of The Fifth Age trilogy

 

Red Dragon Codex is such a great read. The imagery made me feel like I was there, especially the descriptions of the dragons and their surroundings. With great characters, lots of adventure, and just enough humor to lighten things up, you'll have a hard time putting this one down. Highly recommended.”
