A dragon. A witch. An unbreakable curse. Zadie was born in the forest and abandoned...until Tolbalth, a stern and terrifying dragon shapeshifter found her and raised her as his own daughter. Zadie is not an average teenager. She can communicate with wild animals, her best friend is a white tiger, and she is discovering her own magical powers-powers that she keeps a secret from her father because he loathes witches. Tolbalth, the Destroyer of Men, is a fierce dragon-man shapeshifter who raises and trains Zadie to be a warrior and the protector, even if it means killing someone. But Zadie believes that all life must be preserved at any cost, even the lives of their worst enemies. On her eighteenth birthday, everything she has ever believed about her life is challenged when Zadie finds out the shocking truth about her past, her present and her future. Worse, she is ordered to slay the dragon, the only family she has ever known. And the only one she has ever trusted. Now, Zadie must choose between loyalty and betrayal and the stakes are high, either way. Which path will she take?

An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the origin of this creature? The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakōn of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.
