Joust

National best-selling fantasy author Mercedes Lackey creates a vivid, dynamic fusion of the cultures of ancient Egypt and legendary Atlantis with the most exciting and believable portrayal of dragons ever imagined.  The first book in this thrilling new series introduces us to a young slave who dreams of becoming a jouster-one of the few warriors who can actually ride a flying dragon.  And so, in secret, he begins to raise his own dragon...“Elegant, compelling . . . A must-read for dragon lovers in particular and for fantasy fans in general.”
—Publishers Weekly

“It’s fun to see a different spin on dragons . . . and as usual, Lackey makes it all compelling.”
