From award-winning author Daniel Fox comes a ravishingly written epic of revolution and romance set in a world where magic is found in stone and in water, in dragons and in men–and in the chains that bind them. Deposed by a vicious usurper, a young emperor flees with his court to the small island of Taishu. There, with a dwindling army, a manipulative mother, and a resentful population–and his only friend a local fishergirl he takes as a concubine–he prepares for his last stand. In the mountains of Taishu, a young miner finds a huge piece of jade, the potent mineral whose ingestion can gift the emperor with superhuman attributes. Setting out to deliver the stone to the embattled emperor, Yu Shan finds himself changing into something more than human, something forbidden. Meanwhile, a great dragon lies beneath the strait that separates Taishu from the mainland, bound by chains that must be constantly renewed by the magic of a community of monks. When the monks are slaughtered by a willful pirate captain, a maimed slave assumes the terrible burden of keeping the dragon subdued. If he should fail, if she should rise free, the result will be slaughter on an unimaginable scale. Now the prisoner beneath the sea and the men and women above it will shatter old bonds of loyalty and love and forge a common destiny from the ruins of an empire.

Most of the books about grief focus on the first six to twelve months after a loss. This one is for those who are past the initial waves of grief but continue to search for a new direction in life. Author and grief counselor, Thomas John Dennis, D.Min., LCPC, CT, shares the wisdom he's learned from years of companioning the bereaved about how to deal with not just loss, but the life transition that inevitably follows.For Dennis, dragons are metaphors for the challenges we face as we journey through life's uncharted waters. He argues, although dragons can never be completely controlled or conquered, we can learn to befriend them. He suggest that rituals are an ancient form of magic used to charm the dragons we encounter. For those who summon the courage to face what frightens them, there are treasures to be found.Practical and playful this little book offers an unconventional, narrative and short-story approach to learning your way through what comes next. Navigating through grief and life transition can be scary, but for those who dare to sail beyond their comfort zone, a brighter future awaits.
