Mehr zum Buch

In a world where 17 damaged dragons and 13 misfits embark on an impossible quest, they are guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia. Emerging from the sea, these serpents brave the treacherous Rain Wild River, facing a perilous journey to the cocooning grounds for the first time in generations. Many have perished in this harsh environment, where acid waters and toxic air challenge survival. The Rain Wilds change everyone, including Thymara, born with black claws and other deformities. Her father saved her from exposure at birth, but her mother has never forgiven him. As the dragons return, they symbolize hope in a war-torn world. Leftrin, captain of the liveship Tarman, and newlywed Alise Finbok, dedicated to studying dragons, share this fascination. However, the dragons that hatch are a far cry from the majestic creatures of legend—stunted, deformed, and unable to fly. Seen as burdens, they spark fear and concern. The legendary Elderling city of Kelsingra, believed to be their true home, lies far upriver. To reach it, a group of dragon keepers, hunters, and chroniclers must accompany them, facing unpredictable dangers and the grim reality that few are expected to survive.
