You, dear listener, continue at your own risk. It is not for the faint of heart - no more so than the study of dragons itself. But such study offers rewards beyond compare: to stand in a dragon's presence, even for the briefest of moments - even at the risk of one's life - is a delight that, once experienced, can never be forgotten….All the world, from Scirland to the farthest reaches of Eriga, know Isabella, Lady Trent, to be the world's preeminent dragon naturalist.

Even those who take no interest in the field of dragon naturalism have heard of Lady Trent's expedition to the inhospitable deserts of Akhia. Her discoveries there are the stuff of romantic legend, catapulting her from scholarly obscurity to worldwide fame. The details of her personal life during that time are hardly less private, having provided fodder for gossips in several countries.

After nearly five decades, one might think they were wellacquainted with Lady Isabella Trent - dragon naturalist, scandalous explorer, and perhaps as infamous for her company and feats of daring as she is famous for her discoveries and additions to the scientific field. And yet - after her initial adventure in the mountains of Vystrana and her exploits in the depths of war-torn Eriga, to the high seas aboard the Basilisk and then to the inhospitable deserts of Akhia - Lady Trent has captivated hearts along with fierce minds.

Aufmerksame Hörer wissen bereits, wie sich die belesene und zielstrebige Isabella auf den historischen Weg gemacht hat, der sie eines Tages zur führenden Drachenforscherin der Welt machen würde. In diesem beeindruckend offenherzigen Nachfolger blickt Lady Trent auf die nächsten Schritte ihrer glorreichen (und gelegentlich skandalösen) Karriere zurück. Drei Jahre nach ihrer schicksalhaften Reise durch die abschreckenden Gebirge von Vystrana ignoriert Lady Trent gängige Konventionen und bricht zu einer Expedition auf, die sie auf den wilden, kriegszerrütteten Kontinent Erga führt.

Six years after her perilous exploits in Eriga, Isabella embarks on her most ambitious expedition yet: a two-year trip around the world to study all manner of dragons in every place they might be found. From feathered serpents sunning themselves in the ruins of a fallen civilization to the mighty sea serpents of the tropics, these creatures are a source of both endless fascination and frequent peril.

Lady Trents Entdeckungen in Akhien sind der Stoff romantischer Legenden und haben sie von akademischer Bedeutungslosigkeit zu weltweitem Ruhm katapultiert. Die Details ihres Privatlebens während jener Zeit sind ebenso bekannt und haben bis über die Landesgrenzen hinaus für Aufregung gesorgt. Doch, wie es in der Karriere dieser schillernden Frau so oft der Fall ist, ist die Geschichte, welche die Öffentlichkeit kennt, bei Weitem nicht vollständig.

Sechs Jahre nach ihren riskanten Aktionen in Eriga bricht Isabella zu ihrer bisher ehrgeizigsten Expedition auf: einer zwei Jahre langen Reise um die Welt, um Drachen an jedem Ort zu erforschen, wo man sie finden kann. Von gefiederten Echsen, die sich in den Ruinen einer vernichteten Zivilisation sonnen, bis zu den riesigen Seeschlangen der Tropen stellen diese Kreaturen eine Quelle sowohl endloser Faszination als auch häufiger Lebensgefahr dar.
