Great news, my patient lover of all things dragons!
“Shadows & Glass” is available for download! Here are a few fun facts before you click to download the novella…
Every decent fantasy story needs a map…
Just a few things when you’re planning out an imaginary world.
- Make notes as the visual of it pops up in your mind
- Draw it out in rough form and add stuff until your novella is finished
- Give birth to a DnD-obsessed daughter who can fulfill your map design dreams!
Okay, I had no idea about that last one until a few years ago 😉Â
There’s no way I’m going to share my sad pencil sketch of this gorgeous map today. Maybe in another email. Today, I just want to focus on the beauty of the towers with their dragon-landing platforms, the scale-tiled roofs of the buildings, and the burnt edge of the entire thing.
*SIGH!*
Oh, and here’s the image of Ethan and Lysa that lives in my head…
Blackwing Chronicles Novella
Shadows & Glass
Ethan Blackwing has always been an outsider—a chronicler born to warrior parents, destined to record history rather than make it. When he’s tasked with backcasting Lysa, a rare and powerful Shadowkin, their unexpected connection ignites something forbidden, something that could either save their realm or destroy it.
But nothing is as it seems. As dark forces infiltrate Mid-Realm through forgotten portals, Ethan discovers that the line between loyalty and betrayal is thinner than dragon scales. When the unthinkable happens and a human breaches their sanctuary, Ethan must confront both an ancient evil and his own prejudices to protect everything he holds dear.
From the magnificent obsidian spires of Draig Goch to the shimmering territories of the Ironclad, author Lenore Ashwood weaves a captivating tale where dragon shifters guard ancient powers, forbidden connections challenge the laws of an ordered society, and the power of memory becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.
