With Stinson headed for Breslau, what trouble would he cause while there? Would he draw them a map of the location of every Dragon Clan family he knew about? What else could he do? Share information about bonding, or how many Dragon Clan were bonded? How powerful were they in politics? Would he share information about Edward the Earl of Princeton who secretly supported the Dragon Clan? Or the Earl of Warrington who owed his continued rule to the intervention of Raymer only a year ago?
Would Stinson betray his family and all he knew, for his new friends? The short answer was, yes. He would do that and more. He would revel in it.
The Princeton kingdom seemed doomed from every aspect. Stinson would lead the charge if given the opportunity. The invasion at Shrewsbury would come within a year. King Ember would lose his ineffectual throne. The Dragon Clan would be replaced by the others.
Gray could still hear snippets of cruel laughter in his mind, although the ship had disappeared into a bank of fog. Maybe he couldn’t actually hear the laughter, but he knew it was there.
He also knew he’d hear the laughter in his sleep for years to come. He reached for his mug and found it filled again. Perhaps the ambassador was not such a poor friend. Perhaps all was not lost. The last of the day’s light faded as he stood and cast one last glare in the direction where the Lady Marion had sailed.
Stinson only thinks he’s having the last laugh. Gray tossed the empty mug over the side and headed for the charts in his cabin. No, it was not over yet. He spread the one he wanted on the desk. Across the top it said, ANTERRA. Two more candles allowed him to make out the faint markings that had been drawn so long ago.
Gray’s fist pounded the desk beside the chart. “Stinson, I’m coming for you.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
LeRoy Clary
I have never met a dragon. Never even seen one. But wish I had. They fascinate me, so I decided to construct a mental world where they coexist with people. Most of my books are about them, and I call the people the Dragon Clan.
A book called DRAGON! started it. While similar to the Dragon Clan Series, it sets up the idea of how to live and survive in a world where dragons are part of the landscape without resorting to cartoonish dragons or creatures as intelligent and conniving as people. The next hurdle was to keep the stories coming fast enough to satisfy the readers.
The book called the Blade of Lies was a finalist in an Amazon national novel writer’s contest, although under another name. It survives with humor, a medieval setting, and the idea that good guys do win. It is worth the read.
I've done a bit of everything before retiring from teaching high school math and special education. Before that I served in the US Navy, I worked in the electronics field as a technician, supervisor, and owner of a telecom business. I earned my papers as a sea captain for sailboats and motor craft, all of which gives me the background to write books about dragons.
Now that I have the time . . . I write. Every day. I'm writing about the Dragon Clan now, a series of interrelated books and characters. Each book is about them, but centers on one or two characters. They often meet each other in different books.
