About the book

Dragon's Bait

Fifteen-year-old Alys is not a witch.

But that doesn't matter—the villagers think she is and have staked her out on a hillside as a sacrifice to the local dragon. Her father is too frail to stop the neighbor who covets their tin shop, and an Inquisitor needs a quick scapegoat to satisfy Saint Toby's.

It's late, it's cold, and it's raining, and Alys can think of only one thing—revenge. But first she's got to escape, and even if she does, how can one girl possibly take on an entire town alone?

Then the dragon arrives—a dragon that could quite possibly be the perfect ally. . . . Instead of devouring her, the beast shifts into Selendrile.

To ruin the corrupt churchman who condemned her, Alys shears her hair to pose as a boy named Jocko.

Can Alys trust a dragon who lies for sport to help her settle the score with Saint Toby's?

  • Deadly Magic: Gold-colored dragons are vulnerable to cold iron shackles, which sap their power and threaten to leave Selendrile fatally trapped in human skin come daybreak.
  • High-Stakes Revenge: Framing the corrupt Inquisitor means sneaking Griswold's most sacred relic—the emerald-studded chalice of Saint Emmett—straight into the churchman's own saddlebags.
  • Coming of Age Fantasy: Facing down a scheming wheelwright and an ancient witch dwelling behind a glen waterfall forces Alys to discover where justice ends and cruelty begins.
  • Also by This Author: Never Trust a Dead Man, A Well-Timed Enchantment and Curses, Inc. and Other Stories.
