    About this ebook

    Enter the fantasy world of an expected encounter between a Dragon Prince and a 13-year-old farmboy!

    Dragon heir Dracor and 13-year-old Jacen Finley meet in Ashen forest under life-and-death circumstances. Having flown to human land to recover his dead brother's body on a secret mission, Dracor is shot in its wing by terrified people. Fatally injured, he plummets into a gargantuan spider web where a monstrous spider waits to devour him. In that moment, Dracor must choose between putting aside his hatred for humans and being eaten alive by another predator.

    Jacen Finley is an animal lover and has always dreamt of meeting a dragon. His dream comes true when he meets Dracor. Although the dragon is nowhere close to Jacen's fantasy of a majestic fire-breathing dragon, Jacen risks his life to save the giant lizard.

    After Dracor's narrow escape and Jacen's valient attempt to free Dracor, both are unsure of what the future holds for them.

    *This is a short story, ideal for avid dragon lovers. Book 2: "Saving Dracor" is out now!

      Dragon Tails - Ramon Higgins

      Jacen’s morning started out like any other mornings in the last three years.

      But this morning turned out to be like none other.

      Early morning was his favorite time, when he would venture into the Ashen Forest to check on the previous night’s traps.

      Usually the only sounds were the distant calls of unseen animals, the crunch of twigs and leaves underfoot, and his soft, rhythmic breathing.

      But today – not far from home – was something else.

      From deeper within the woods – deeper than he normally cared to go – came a tremendous bellowing that rattled the trees and stopped him in his tracks.

      He froze. His heart pounded.

      High above, flocks of startled birds took to the air. Frenzied, rustling sounds surrounded him as woodland creatures fled from the source of the noise. The roar emitted pain and anger, and it did not belong to any kind of animal that Jacen had ever encountered.

      Many of the townsfolk in Orrinshire insisted that the Ashen Forest teemed with monsters, but Jacen had been going into the woods for most of his life and he had never come across any creature that wasn’t more afraid of him than he was of it.

      People liked to tell stories of vile, slavering beasts that stole children from their homes, or faeries that lured innocent maidens into dense patches of fog from which they never came out.

      But those kinds of stories were usually told late at night over tall mugs of dark ale. In other words, they were not the sort of stories that a sensible 13-year-old boy like Jacen Finley would put any stock in.

      And yet, there was no denying that whatever was making that awful noise was neither man nor beast. Most children would have turned and run home at hearing that sound, but Jacen was not most children.

      Moreover, he revered the forest and its flora and fauna. Over the last three years, he had made many friends with creatures, like birds, squirrels and rabbits, which call Ashen Forest home. Although they were inherently wild animals, they had come to see that Jacen bore no evil, but only kindness and compassion for them.

      He would gather leaves and twigs for the swallows to build their nest and pick up fallen fruits and nuts for his four-legged furry friends. Leaving the collection in a heap at the foot of trees, he would camouflage himself behind shrubs and wait for them to emerge and stow the precious goods away. Jacen respected the human-animal boundary and understood that not all animals desired contact with humans - no matter how kind he is or how much he would love to befriend them.

      Tightening his grip on the wooden cudgel he carried, the 5ft 5in tall Jacen urged himself forward, past his baited snares and toward the source of the bloodcurdling roar.

      It wasn’t hard
