"With a shake of her head, Landorundun looked up at her captor. The creature wanted amusement. Maybe she was lonely, living here below the waves. Almost like she fed on suffering. The dragon wanted sorrow and tragedy. Someone to share her own pain? Landorundun had known her fair share of suffering. "I'll tell you my story if you let me live." Lost at sea and left for dead, Landi finds salvation at the hands of a myth. Trapped in an underground cave with a mad dragon, wounded and alone, Landi can't fight this creature with a blade. Her only hope is the dragon's lust for painful memories, for tales of love and loss. The dragon has a tragic history of her own, and Landi's survival now depends on her ability to eclipse her captor's suffering with her own. In her desperation, Landi weaves a tale of pain, hoping to hold the dragon at bay for one moment more. And to do so, she'll have to dredge up her own buried past ... if she can piece together the fragments of her shattered memories. Indonesian mythology and historical fantasy blend in book 2.5 of The Skyfall Era. Author's Note Fragments of Memory and Dream is mythic fantasy set on an alternate version of Earth, one in which Indonesia is dominated by dynasties of Sun, Moon, and Fire worshipping cultures. For those curious, it takes place in the same world as my Ragnarok Era books, albeit at an earlier time period. I adore mythology from any culture. Hindu, Norse, Greek all of them. Mythology helped shape the fantasy genre. And while lots of fantasies pull in aspects of mythology, I wanted to create something to reconcile all world mythologies into an epic fantasy whole. And why should you give it a try? I'm writing what I want to read: action, epic plots, larger-than-life characters, a bit of romance, swords, sorcery, dark deities, and twists. Sound up your alley? Then you'll probably love this mythic world as much as I do.
