The Emerald Dragon by Marie Andreas

The Emerald Dragon by Marie Andreas

After surviving two previous encounters with ancient relics of mayhem and destruction plus saving her friends and her whole damn city, archaeologist Taryn St. Giles thinks she deserves a beer and a break.

Then her world starts to tear itself apart, literally.

Earthquakes are unheard of in quiet, sleepy Beccia, but sadly, doomsdays are not, and Taryn is getting uncomfortably familiar with both when she discovers the existence of more pieces of the dangerous relics. With old friends and even older enemies -- and friends who might be enemies after all -- Taryn races against bloodthirsty relic hunters and nightmarish monsters to find a legendary creature carved from a single, giant gemstone.

The upheaval rattles her team, tears apart her city, and unleashes a creature that should have stayed dead and buried. And that wants Taryn's blood. Now she'll unearth her biggest adventure yet.

Assuming she survives. THE EMERALD DRAGON.

Marie is an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction who also has a significant writing problem. She'd be prowling around coffee shops irritating total strangers with her stories if she wasn't writing about all the people in her thoughts. Writing is, in essence, a means of saving the masses. The Glass Gargoyle, the first book in her Lost Ancients trilogy, was released in March 2015, followed by The Obsidian Chimera in the fall of 2015, and The Emerald Dragon in the winter of 2015/2016. The remaining novels in the series (a total of six are planned) will be released in 2016 and 2017.

Marie enjoys visiting the UK when she isn't saving the public from coffee shop hijinks, and she continues dreaming that someone will give her a wonderful summer property in the Forest of Dean.
