The Dragon

Description for THE DRAGON by Jane Gaskell:

ATLAN BESIEGED

In her quest to save the fabled atlan, young cija and her handsome lover, Smahil, flee the clutches of Zerd, the evil half-serpent who has conquered half the world.

But, too late, they find there is no escape from their enemy---Zerd's army covers the land from hill to valley; all beings are swept along or destroyed; all cities are laid open to the plunder of his warriors.

Now Cija must do the impossible.  She must thwart Zerd's ravenous scheme of conquest---and it is the gods' decree that she must do it alone!

This is #2 The Atlan Saga.
