Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some songs wake the dragons. One can enslave them all.Fifteen years ago a dragon carried Shreya off the sacred hill of her childhood and across the Perilous Sea. Now she comes home a heartbearer - a witch bound in a triad to the crimson dragon Garnet and the shapeshifting djinn Spessa - and finds her nomad clans caged, her people starving, and the tyrant emperor Madrid tearing open the holiest hill in Cassimir to reach what sleeps beneath it.The Speaking Stone is the ancient Word that first called dragons into being. Woken under the full moon, it can bend every dragon in Gaia to a single will, and no bonded beast alive can refuse it. But Madrid never wanted Gaia. He has bled the ten provinces for fifty years to arm himself for the crossing home - to conquer the far dragon-isles of Jintessa with an army of enslaved dragons at his back.Only one man stands close enough to stop him: a leashed tribute collector who has waged a secret war on the empire from the inside for fifteen years, and who is dying for it. To silence the Stone forever, he and Shreya must pay a price that neither of them can take back.

Heart of Cassimir is Book 9 of The Heart of the Citadel - an epic fantasy dragon saga of bonded triads, shapeshifting djinn, tyrant emperors, doomed sacrifice, and a world one song away from falling.
