The Ronan Scrolls: Dragonmaster Trilogy, #2.5

By Katie Cross

They burned my brother on a stake.

 

For this reason, my grief and questions drive me to study his "mental condition," starting in the Northern Network. I must scour Alkarra from top to bottom in my search to understand his life and decisions. 

 

My burning questions cannot be ignored—my restless heart and soul crave answers. He died from this strange ailment. Or, rather, because of it. His confinement was wrong. He was not crazy. Something was different, yes. But not harmful. Not dangerous.

 

Something gave him sight into the future, and his murderers called it madness. I will figure it out in his name. 

 

I am naive to the ways of the world. I have never slept under the stars or hunted for my own food or traveled on my own, despite being twenty-four years old and only a scholar.

 

Still, I go. I must. 

 

Redemption isn't free.

The Ronan Scrolls is a companion novella to the Dragonmaster Trilogy. This riveting short story will sweep you across the world of Alkarra and into the depths of a terrifying mystery. Fans of FLAME and FLIGHT won't want to miss this installment.
