Crowned The Sign of the Dragon

ELGIN AWARD WINNING POETRY COLLECTION FROM MARY SOON LEE Rhysling Award winner Mary Soon Lee has created a fantastic world that is marvelous in scope. Drawing upon elements from Asian and Celtic culture while incorporating dragons, bloody wars, horsemanship, kingship and other tropes of the genre, she never ignores the human cost of heroism. Gorgeous black-and-white illustrations by M. Wayne Miller complete this first book of The Sign of the Dragon, and epic fantasy in verse. "And what will you pay for the crown, little princeling? Gold? Men? A song?" "My freedom!" he shouted at her. "Well," she said, "that's a start."
