Prequel to the Dragons & Drones series (Dragons and Drones)

By Debra Chapoton

Millions disappear from Earth. Is there an alien abduction? Another pandemic? Something else entirely?
Several billionaires combine resources to build three space ships to escape a planet they believe is now doomed. Three ships leave days apart.

The occupants of the second ship safely survive the ultimate quarantine of space only to land on a planet plagued by dragons. But through a glitch in time and space, the first ship’s passengers have already been there for hundreds of years.

Read the revealing prequel to SPELL OF THE SHADOW DRAGON, the first book in the DRAGONS & DRONES series.

★★★★★ A fascinating cast of characters: mythical animals and Earth escapees, bitter brothers and young lovers, worried fathers and greedy rulers. All face unimaginable challenges. And in a time of earthquakes and wars, clues from the past eventually lead to the ultimate rescue, one that affects the entire civilization.
