Fantasy-adventure-romance for older teens to adults. For more, visit the official website: www.elucidationimages.com/kasab/kasab_home.html Morrigan Aislyn had a personal philosophy that tended to work perfectly: expect nothing, and you'll never be disappointed. But even with her transient ability to sense the future, events had begun transpiring in her home country of Byrd that she could never have expected, and that would leave her wishing she'd only just been disappointed. Morrigan's home village of Sparrownere is attacked and burned to the ground, and Morrigan wonders why anyone would bother-until she learns that, for reasons unknown, the leader of the attackers has come seeking her, and doesn't care if he slaughters a village or two to find her. Morrigan's quest for answers and justice can bring only new mysteries, heartbreak, and challenges, as dragons are loosed into the fray.

Author Biography

Katherine A. Smith grew up in Fort Bragg, California, on the Mendocino Coast. With a seemingly inborn affection for science fiction and fantasy, and a predilection for drawing and writing, she started making stories and illustrating them as early as second grade. Although she's written several other stories-some completed and some not-this is the first novel she's published. She is working on an additional two novels in this series, and possibly a fourth (depends how the third one wraps up). More stories of other realms, peoples, and journeys are likely in the future.In 2003 Katherine earned a Bachelor's of Science in Zoology from Humboldt State University, and in 2006 a Graduate Certificate in Scientific Illustration from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Katherine also has several years of dance training and a second degree black belt in American Parker Kenpo Karate. Besides art, writing, and dance, Katherine enjoys bird watching, attempting to cook, anime and manga, sewing costumes, and learning Japanese (wow, that's a lot...might explain why I feel so busy...). Katherine lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her three imaginary cats (I'd have real ones, but my apartment building doesn't allow them).
