A Conspiracy of Dragons
(2027)(The second book in the Gilded Age of Dragons series)
A novel by Christina Baehr
England, 1910
Violet Worms, the black sheep of England's premier dragon keeper family, has one ambition: to ride her dragon to international glory - if she can get him to stop rejecting her. To convince her dragon to trust her, Violet will need the help of the Welsh aviator she once promised to marry, and who may still pose a risk to her heart.
While her sister reckons with the past, Una Worms has her eyes on future threats to her family's legacy. What does the War Office want with their dragons? And can she trust the helpful young cartographer - who appears at the menagerie right when she needs him - to have their best interests at heart?
Meanwhile, Penny Fairweather follows the trail of a stolen relic to an exclusive house party in the marshes of Somerset, where she uncovers an unexpected conspiracy. Cut off from the outside world, her only ally is a young man who has betrayed everyone who ever trusted him.
Will a new generation of dragon keepers untangle the threats surrounding them? Or will their enemies be the ones to shape The Gilded Age of Dragons?
