Dragons of the EnchantedBookstore Legends by Marsha A. MooreSince I have a dragonon the cover of Seeking a Scribe ,you'd expect those magical creatures to play a major role. Dragon lovers willnot be disappointed. I love dragons and have included many types, ages, andsizes. I'd like to share a brief description of the most common ones in this firstlegend.Like all fantasies,the battle between good and evil is a key theme. The dragons in my fantasyworld of Dragonspeir are either members of the good Alliance, governed by thegolden Imperial Dragon and his High Council, or the Dark Realm, led by theBlack Dragon. Alliance Dragons: Gold dragons are born leaders,being lawful, just and good.Their intelligence exceeds the other types, and their wisdom is sought after. Beinggood-natured, they help those who are kind and fair. The Imperial Leader helpstrain and guide my heroine, Lyra, along her quest. Golds are the most powerful and largest in size. The breath weapon of golddragons is a cone of fire. Although they are cautious about entering a fightand dislike killing, once engaged, they will pour their entire being into thebattle. Physically,gold dragons are spectacular. Two prominent horns point backwards along theirheads. The most obvious feature is probably the tentacle whiskers that sproutfrom the bottom of the gold dragon's jaw, giving the appearance of a sort ofbeard in both males and females. The Imperial Dragon isgold. Like his father before him, he will serve the Allianceuntil either he dies or steps down.  Similar to most golds,he keeps his Alliance headquarters in a grand network of caves set in the rockplateau. His overlooks the Steppe of Ora, the wide plain which divides good andevil in Dragonspeir. His lair includes an elaborate gathering hall, a vastlibrary, guest quarters, and his own personal chambers with cases of magicalinstruments and a glass-walled observatory to consult the stars. As one of thefour Alliance Guardians, his area of expertise is magic powered by the air element,including mystical astronomy studies of the skies. Blue dragons are the sentries tothe Imperial Dragon. They love spending hours soaring and are excellenttrackers. Squadrons of them patrol the Alliance. They are lawful and obedient,with strong moral character.They are a brilliant cobalt blue, bearing asingle horn. Their eyes are smooth and glossy, without pupils, which makes foran hypnotic appearance. Although slightly smaller than golds, they arequicker to strike in battles with their lightning bolt breath. Bronze dragons are duty-bound and honorable to a fault. Physically, thebronze dragon is quite fierce in appearance, despite its good nature. Whilemost of its body is a reflective copper color, the wings are often tipped withgreen. There are two breathweapons these dragons employ. They either use a bolt of lightning or arepulsion gas, which is so putrid that it forces everything away. Always inline with the Alliance, the bronze dragon is a deadlycombatant, roasting enemies with bursts of lightning or ripping them open withits clawed forelegs.
Dark Realm Dragons:
Blackdragons, like the leader of the Dark Realm, always seek tolair in deep dark caves. Although small, they are vile, evil-tempered, andabusive. Their hearts are as dark as their slimy scales. They are obsessed withdeath and take comfort in the sickening-sweet aroma of drowned, rottingcarcasses. The Black Dragon leader prefers his drake servants leave the preythey bring him in pools within his personal cave. The victims float for days orweeks before he eats them.
The dark leader, like all black dragons, is grim andskeletal. His eyes lie deep in their sockets between two great horns that curveforward and down. The flesh of his face is partially deteriorated or burnt fromhis acidic drool.  His method of attackis spitting caustic acid. My heroine and hero, Lyra and Cullen, learn too wellwhat that feels like!
Asallies to the Black Dragon, greendragons live alone in dense forests. Although short dragons, they have nasty,belligerent tempers. They delight in torturing their captives. The head of agreen is covered in hornlets. They reek of chlorine since their chosen breathweapon is hurling clouds of toxic chlorine gas.Numeroustypes of drakes are the soldiers andscouts of the Dark Realm. Fire and magma drakes attack with burning flames,while the evil ice drakes freeze victims with contact.
This was only a quick summary ofmany of the evil and good dragons in my Enchanted Bookstore Legends. Thereare others I enjoy just as much, like the three-foot long pseudodragon, Noba,who is the wizard's familiar to Cullen Drake, the Imperial Sorcerer of theAlliance. Read more about Noba and all the dragons in Seeking a Scribe: EnchantedBookstore Legend One.


Seeking a Scribe: Enchanted Bookstore Legend One

Genre: Fantasy romance
Description:

Lyra McCauley is a writer and loves fantasy novels, but until she opens a selection from bookstore owner Cullen Drake, she has no idea he's a wizard character who lives a double life inside that volume…or the story's magic will compel her from the edge of depression to adventure, danger, and love.

His gift to Lyra, the Book of Dragonspeir, was actually her copy, misplaced years ago. Lost in her pain following divorce and death, she fails to recognize him as her childhood playmate from the fantasyland. Friendship builds anew. Attraction sparks. But Lyra doubts whether a wizard is capable of love. She's torn—should she protect her fragile heart or risk new love?

Opening the book's cover, she confronts a quest: save Dragonspeir from destruction by the Black Dragon before he utilizes power of August's red moon to expand his strength and overthrow the opposing Imperial Dragon. Lyra accepts the challenge, fearing Cullen will perish if evil wins. Along with magical animal guides, Cullen helps her through many perils, but ultimately Lyra must use her own power…and time is running out.
