Download or read book Dragon Bones written by Lisa See and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the body of an American archaeologist is found floating in the Yangzi River, Ministry of Public Security agent Liu Hulan and her husband, American attorney David Stark, are dispatched to Site 518 to investigate. As Hulan scrutinizes this death—or is it a murder?—David, on behalf of the National Relics Bureau, tries to discover who has stolen from the site an artifact that may prove to the world China’s claim that it is the oldest uninterrupted civilization on earth. This artifact is not only an object of great monetary value but one that is emblematic of the very soul of China. Everyone—from the Chinese government, to a religious cult, to an unscrupulous American art collector—wants this relic, and some, it seems, may be willing to kill to get it. At stake in this investigation is control of China’s history and national pride, and even stability between China and the United States. The troubled Hulan must overcome her own fears of failure, while David tries desperately to break through the shell that has built up around his wife. As Hulan and David are enmeshed in international schemes for power and the turbulence of their own relationship, these hunters after the truth become the hunted—in a fast-driving narrative set against the backdrop of the building of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest and most expensive project China has undertaken since the Great Wall and the subject of great international debate. It is here, in the heart of the Three Gorges, that David and Hulan will battle their enemies and their own natures to see who will win China’s dragon bones. Dragon Bones combines ancient myth with contemporary anxieties concerning religious fanaticism and terrorism to tell a story of love, betrayal, history, ecology, greed—and gory murder.

Stranded on an island filled with beasts of legend, Breetor must find a way home not just to escape this dangerous place, but return to his beloved. He fears for her safety, knowing that without its king, Psykoria would be in chaos. His ship has been destroyed. After the rest of his crew fall to the island’s predators, his only way home might be to find the land’s most dangerous beasts: the dragons.

The Land of the Beasts is a brilliantly thought out and set up tale which any fans of dragons and creatures of legends will love. Get The Land of the Beasts now and explore the legendary island yourself. Interview with author Q: Tell us about the type of stories you write? A: I write YA epic fantasy or YA high fantasy novels and comics set in my Blade or Flame world. The world I’ve created is filled with magical creatures, a dragon rider, magic weaponry, and all sorts of things expected in a YA epic fantasy, all in a single young adult medieval world. The stories are often filled with dynamic action, ranging from sword combat, magic battles, and epic duels between magical creatures often written in more depth than a typical YA fantasy dragon story. However, I always try to ensure that each character has a good reason to be motivated with whatever they’re fighting for. Q: The Land of the Beasts contains a wide variety of magical creatures. Where did you get ideas for such a setting? At the core of the story, or most YA high fantasy and YA epic fantasy stories involving magical creatures for that matter, is the dragon. I always liked the idea of dragons coming from a land devoid of mass human population, only to be seen sparsely. As for the other magical creatures, such as griffins, hydras and manticores, I felt other creatures needed to dwell on this land, and realised such a place would make a great setting for a fable reminiscent of the tales of old. Q: Your Blade or Flame world is has been credited for including (in meaningful ways), almost every creature of legend in existence in some way or form. Why include so many magical creatures in a single YA high fantasy world? Don’t such fables and legends already come from a single world; ours? What if all legends and fables told in our history were true? What if every dragon rider, and all other magical creatures did exist? Wouldn’t that make our world similar to the one I’ve created? What better setting could there be for a youth fantasy or YA high fantasy? Q: Lastly, how does The Land of the Beasts differ from your YA epic fantasy tales? The Land of the Beasts is written to better resemble the type of fable you’d expect to hear in an old tavern or similar setting. It lacks the heavy character development seen in Champion’s Rising, or the ideological theme present in The Dragons’ Will. However, it features far more exploration, and better describes the magical creatures that exist in the youth fantasy world I’ve created, and adds a whole depth of background behind the dragons glimpsed in the aforementioned works. Perhaps more-so than the others, this reads like a fable of legend telling the journey of how a king became a legend.
