Dear Reader, In my cozy library alcove, I never realized the peril that could befall a traveler in the mountains -- or even a quiet villager, minding her own business. Then I read Sindri Suncatcher's A Practical Guide to Dragons and I just had to find out more about dragonkind. In my research, I discovered this true tale of an evil red dragon who plots revenge, kidnaps a seer, and sets a young boy named Mudd on a rescue mission. I hope you find as much thrilling enjoyment from it as I did. Your humble servant, R.D. Henham Scribe in the Great Library of Palanthas "A whimsical, dangerous journey that races to a satisfying end." -- Jean Rabe, author of The Fifth Age trilogy
