As you enter this large room, done in highly polished red granite, you see to the north and south are high oak bookcases giving the illusion of a room within a room. Placed here and there throughout the room are sofas and overstuffed armchairs made of soft mahogany colored leather. To the west is a small oak desk, obviously sized for a hobbit. On the desk's surface, rests a computer and stacks of papers and books. Behind the desk sits an executive chair, also sized for a hobbit. A smaller bookcase stands next to a laser printer. The books in this case are the most used in the library, being mostly reference books and spell tomes. A tapestry, depicting a bustling draconic city, hangs on the wall on the other side of the printer. In the center of the library is an open shaft. It is twenty feet in diameter, with a four and a half-foot high restraining wall about it. Looking out into the central shaft you notice that this is part of a great atrium. You can now see that the library extends upward four more floors, and downward, another five floors. As you look downward, your eyes are drawn to the huge mosaic world map of Abeir-toril set in the floor of the bottom most level. The mammoth library fully covers all ten floors. Row upon row of bookcases fill every floor. On the fourth floor you find a large leather floor cushion with a bookstand in front of it. This is one of Arangast's favorite places. No sounds are heard from outside the library, suggesting a bit of sound dampening magic at work here. |
The Elvenbane (book 1 of the Halfblood Chronicles)
By: Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey
Tor Books
ISBN # 0-812-51175-1
| This is the story of Shanna,
a halfbreed born of the forbidden union of an Elvenlord father with a
human mother. Her exiled mother dead, she was rescued and raised by
dragons, a proud, ancient race who existed unbeknownst to elven or
humankind. From birth, Shanna was the embodiment of the Prophecy
that the all-powerful Elvenlords feared. Her destiny is the
enthralling adventureof a lifetime.
The Elvenlords, with magic to change and control their own bodies and the physical world around them, ruled over humans and halfbloods alike with cruel and unquestioned authority. The Dragon kin, lived apart from the glittering elven cities, in the desert where none suspected their very existance, nor their secret meddling in the affairs of the elven domain. The Prophecy, begun as a small gesture of defiance, a whispered rumor to disrupt the peace of the elvenlord's perfect, decadent world. Into the world of this treacherous and glittering land came Shanna, the One who, alone of all the world, had the magic and the will to bring the terror and revenge of her ancestors' righteous cause down upon the haughty oppressors cloaked in Elven finery. |

| Myre dove, wings flattened
tightly to her body, falling from the sky, a dark stone out of
heaven. At the last possible moment she flipped and opened her
wings, backwinging in a thunder of wingbeats, breaking her fall and
turning it into a true and graceful landing. Jamal whipped around, mouth falling open in surprise, bow and arrows dropping from nerveless fingers, as he gaped at the dragon that had suddenly appeared, to block his way. He froze for just a moment; then, eyes narrowing, he snatched up his weapons and prepared to sell his life dearly. Myre laughed. "Put your toys away, my friend," she rumbled at him in his own tongue. "And I call you my friend most deliberately. It is said among your people the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," is it not?" Jamal nodded cautiously. "Well, then," Myre chuckled, "I am your friend. My enemies are yours. shall I name them?" At his second nod, she did so, and watched as his own eyes narrowed in satisfaction at each name. |

before confronting the Companions in Xak Tsaroth, the black dragon
Khisanth is awakened from a centuries-long sleep. The world she had
known as a young wyrm is gone, irrevocably changed by the Cataclysm.
Now fully grown, she has much to learn about being a dragon in a world
where her kind are feared as the villians in stories told to children. Her lessons are hard, learned at the hands of two achingly beautiful creatures who entrust her to save their race; an aging evil dragon who resents Khisanth's innate power; and the only man she considers her equal, one she would honor by carrying him into battle... if only he were not her sworn enemy. When a conspiracy at the highest levels of the Black Wing threatens the Dark Queen's army, Khisanth realizes her true devotion to evil and is rewarded with a destiny handed down by Takhisis herself. |

Constable had been missing for over ten years—a short time as Dragons
lives go, but long enough to cause worry to his family and friends.

But as the second decade began, Arbitrance's Companion, Murdan of Overhill, again and again called his mount to no avail. It was unlike Arbitrance to ignore his Companion's call. The Constables began to search for him... |

Dragons Can Only Rust
By: Chrys Cymri
TSR Books
ISBN # 0-7869-0157-8
| "You are no more than a dragon, created by
me." The Master swept an arm at the many things of power that
filled the cavern. "It is impossible for you to feel
anything. Dragons can't feel. Dragons only can rust." In a fantastic and frightening future world, a dragon of any kind would naturally feel more than a little out of place. Unsure if his existance is a blessing or a curse, Gonard flees the safety of the only home he's known to go on a search for a soul he isn't really sure he has. He is accompanied on his quest by an android-like medtech — with a hidden and perhaps deadly agenda — and the outler, a young woman from a mining asteroid who will use any means at her disposal to be allowed to remain on Earth, even if she must sacrifice the dragon to do so. |

hadn't planned it that way, but that's what happened when he set out to
rescue his betrothed. Following her through an erratic
astral-projection machine, Jim suddenly found himself in a cockeyed world—locked
in the body of a talking dragon named Gorbash. That wouldn't have been so bad if his beloved Angie was also a dragon. But in this magical land, that was not the case. Angie had somehow remained a very female human—or a george, as the dragons called any human. And Jim, no matter what anyone called him, was a dragon. To make matters worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathy Tower. So in this land where georges were edible and beasts were magical—where spells worked and logic didn't—Jim Eckert had a problem. And he needed help, by george! |
