The Dragon in the West
Author: Daniel Ogden
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192565877
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R. R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans. What is the origin of this creature? The Dragon in the West is the first serious and substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed exploration begins with the drakōn of Greek myth and the draco of the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female dragons. It brings the story forwards though Christian writings, medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling saints, before concluding with a study of dragons found in the medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf and the Norse sagas.

Five years after King Jamion Brewer of Calaprinia is captured and imprisoned by the narcissistic King Nord, usurper of the Valcian throne, Jamion is rescued by an elite team led by Jamion's longtime friend Zack Thedford, with assistance from a secret organization. Taken to another realm that is governed by the elves to be reunited with his family and what remains of those who fled Calaprinia, Jamion is training to be the warrior he used to be, but with a few new tricks up his sleeve. From placing spies in harems to killing traitors without a second thought, the Valcian Underground Movement seeks to place Princess Kiera on her father's throne. Though with treachery and betrayal at nearly every corner, those loyal to the princess find themselves greatly outnumbered and face a price that may cost everything. In realms wrought by magic, bordered with blood, and frequented by evil forces, will Jamion be able to raise an army? Do those protecting Kiera have what it takes to bring justice to the tyrant Nord and restore either Calaprinia or Valc to their former glory?
