Serpents of Sky: Nine Stories of Dragons by Heidi C. Vlach
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 660 kB
Overview: Hey, I’m Heidi. The C stands for Caroline. I’m a Canadian chick born August 7th, 1985. I share an apartment with my (male) best friend, two cats and too many video games.
Because I love food and the culture behind it, I took chef training and graduated at age 18. I cooked professionally for a while, but I didn’t find the high-stress assembly line very fulfilling. Now, I wait tables and try to help customers pick something they’ll like. But thanks to the chef training, my fridge stays full of vegetables and homemade chicken stock.
Genre: Fantasy
Dragons can be monsters, deities, or even beloved friends. This 34 000-word short story collection explores dragons in their many roles, across fantasy and science fiction.
Contains 9 original short stories, including:
With Less Lament: When the dragon reappears and strikes at her suburban neighbourhood, elderly Eloise races for her basement dragon shelter. In this moment of disaster, her own garden yields unexpected guardians.
Cardiology: Trapped in his laboratory, running out of supplies, scientist Theodore hatches bioengineered reptiles. These flawed creatures are not the magnificent dragons he read about in books — but they’re the scientist’s only hope for survival in the ruined outside world.
Clearsight: Two dragons use their vast power to tinker with prehistoric Earth. They are determined to help this planet produce life that will evolve to fellow dragons — a rare development in all the universe. But their work is interrupted by an extinction event that could wipe out all of Earth’s potential.
In Lifetimes Spared: She was once a princess, stolen away by the terrible dragon Vivekr. Now she is a queen, greying and wise, and she calls Vivekr her friend. There can be peace between humans and dragons: the queen is convinced of this, but the rest of humanity isn’t so sure — and neither are Vivekr’s fellow dragons.
Raise: A novelette set in the Stories of Aligare world. Tenver, a weasel-like ferrin, was raised with love by a dragon-like korvi, Constezza. But when Tenver accidentally trades away the eggshells Constezza hatched from — the eggshells that are any korvi’s most precious possession — he must fix his mistake. He goes journeying to find the eggshells — and he needs the help of Judellie, a young korvi just finding the courage to leave home on her own wings.
