Justful Deception Benjamin Towe

Dragons! Justful Deception chronicles the affairs of black dragons in ancient Donothor. Intelligent and dexterous black dragons live in clashing gaggles and display mortal frailties of pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. Young Xollos loves a drakaina from another gaggle and pays the price of banishment by his gagglemaster father. The young dragon finds a mentor in an earlier victim of his father's deceit. Tribulation and tragedy beset Xollos. Unexpected Magick touches him. The mysterious Dreamraider disturbs his slumber and bestows gifts and power. Is she 'mellon' (friend) or 'morikotto' (dark enemy)? Xollos employs all means to right old wrongs and in so doing struggles with his conscience. He makes unusual alliances, faces old nemeses, metes out payback, gives in to lust, and strives to unite black Dragondom. Dragons will be dragons!
