A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent
A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent

Dragons and feminism in a pseudo-Victorian memoir.

If you have a penchant for both fantasy worlds teeming with dragons and the empowering tales of women breaking societal barriers, "A Natural History of Dragons" will likely captivate you. Imagine a blend of meticulous science and breathtaking adventure experienced through the lens of a uniquely determined heroine. It's as if Jane Austen penned a fantasy, complete with the intrigue of uncharted expeditions.

Description

FINALIST FOR THE 2018 HUGO AWARD FOR BEST SERIES. All the world, from Scirland to the farthest reaches of Eriga, know Isabella, Lady Trent, to be the world’s preeminent dragon naturalist. She is the remarkable woman who brought the study of dragons out of the misty shadows of myth into the clear light of modern science. But before she became the illustrious figure we know today, there was a bookish young woman whose passion for learning, natural history, and, yes, dragons defied the stifling conventions of her day. Here at last, in her own words, is the true story of a pioneering spirit who risked her reputation, her prospects, and her fragile flesh and bone to satisfy her scientific curiosity; of how she sought true love and happiness despite her lamentable eccentricities; and of her thrilling expedition to the perilous mountains of Vystrana, where she made the first of many historic discoveries that would change the world forever.
