Product Description The second volume in Margaret Weis’s Dragonvald trilogy— she is truly the Mistress of DragonsIn Mistress Of Dragons, we were introduced to a world where political deception and greed have lead to a violation of the “hands off” policy of the Parliament of Dragons concerning the affairs of men. Indeed that violation threatens more than policy and order—it threatens the freedom of the human race.In The Dragon's Son, there is a new hope in the form of a special offspring who might be able to bridge the anarchy that is disrupting the delicate and unseen order that the Parliament has tried to protect. The twin offspring of a high priestess and a dragon hold the key to man’s future but their identity must be held secret, even from each other, until they have matured. One is raised in a human court, the other in hiding. But the link that exists between the twins will not be broken by mere distance, and the duality of their origin will unlock the new hope for a return to peace and safety as long as they live to maturity. It is up to Draconas, the special emissary of the Parliament, to make it happen for the sake of both Dragonkind and mankind alike despite the evil forces that are still gaining strength around them. Review "Spellbinding magic ... sure to please dragon fans."--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on The Dragon's Son “ Exciting …Weis maintains a carefully crafted world and deepens the characterizations of the twins as each tries to come to terms with the past and his destiny.” --Booklist on The Dragon's Son "Weis offers an exciting medieval fantasyland peopled with larger-than-life heroes and villains."--RT Book Reviews on The Dragon's Son "Compelling action."--VOYA on The Dragon's Son Raves for Mistress of Dragons:“Best known for her successful partnership with Tracy Hickman (Dragons of the Vanished Moon, etc.), Weis launches a new series on her own that’s sure to please high fantasy fans and will leave them eager for the next installment.”—Publishers Weekly About the Author Margaret Weis lives in Williams Bay, Wisconsin.

Gabrielle de Cuir is a Grammy-nominated and Audie Award-winning producer whose narrating credits include the voice of Valentine in Orson Scott Card’s Ender novels, Ursula K.

He is a recipient of multiple Audie Awards and AudioFile Earphones Awards as well as a Grammy Award as an audiobook producer. Along with casts of other narrators, Stefan has read a number of Orson Scott Card's best-selling science fiction novels, published by Macmillan Audio. In reviewing the 20th anniversary edition audiobook of Card’s Ender's Game, Publishers Weekly stated, "Card's phenomenal emotional depth comes through in the quiet, carefully paced speech of each performer...In particular, Rudnicki, with his lulling, sonorous voice, does a fine job articulating Ender's inner struggle between the kind, peaceful boy he wants to be and the savage, violent actions he is frequently forced to take. This is a wonderful way to experience Card's best-known and most celebrated work, both for longtime fans and for newcomers." From AudioFile The parliament of the dragons has a policy to avoid interference in the affairs of humans. But, as seen in the first book of this series, dragons are no better at following policy than humans are when greed calls.
