  A classic fantasy novel. Part three in the series The legend of Amornia.  With a sense of déjà vu, Agnes packed her things. She was going to be staying with her grandmother in Hova again. She picked up her fully packed suitcase and as she started to go downstairs the thoughts began running through her head. It was as if something was missing, something she ought to remember. Something hideously black. But for the life of her she couldn’t remember what.In the top of the tower on the smaller of the islands that made up the Samloqs sat that night’s watch. He looked up at the starry sky through the opening that was the tower’s only window – and there, something was there. A giant black shadow swooped past and blocked out the light. The preacher shuddered. The next moment he almost fell out of the tower. The creature high above him had turned, revealing an enormous pair of wings and clouds of sooty black smoke billowing from its nostrils.Naz-Halham could not erase the Sibyl’s words from his mind. “The time is come when I, Moros, shall rise and break my bonds. I enjoin upon thee to ally thyself with the people from the sea, whose arrival in Amornia has been prophesied since before my sisters and brothers fettered my person with their treacherous chains.”The return of the silver dragon is the third volume in the Tales of Amornia series. The first two volumes, The secret of the stone bridge and The crimson sceptre, have earned both public and critical praise. “A classic portal fantasy that’s aflame with storytelling glee, mystique, thrills and loveable characters” is one of many positive reviews that have been written.

  A public assassination puts a bounty on Leilani's head . . . and another mystery in her lap. Leilani Falconi is no longer an IIS agent; in fact, no one is. With the Imperial Investigative Service disbanded, and an entire system after her for the murder of Admiral Jason Dorthy, Leilani evades detection with her inherent smarts and skill. But there's an ever-present gnawing at the back of her mind: she's missing something, something big. Apparently, so are the known galaxies. When she returns to her roots at ELU, identities unravel-no one is who they appear to be, even herself. To make matters worse, unfolding historical timelines point to a complicated mystery still shaping present-day conflicts. Lei knows the power-grab that started the puzzle is far from over. What was hidden must be found-by her first, if she wants to keep a powerful technological revolution from falling into the wrong hands, and preserve the galaxy from spiraling into oblivion. The mystery and wit in Wendi Coffman-Porter's second book of the Eldrilin Chronicles, The Grand Veeshali, will have readers on their toes as this sci-fi crime bridges the line between fantasy, technology, and reality.
