Dragons of the Great Wyves: Fire and Song is the third and final book in M.Verant’s award-winning Jane Austen Fantasy series. It is a sequel to Emma’s Dragon.

The most prominent characters are the Great Wyves, women of strength and courage, Elizabeth, Emma, Mary and Georgiana. Elizabeth Darcy, the wyfe of war, is bound to the formidable dragon, YuΓ‘nchi.

Emma, Mary and Georgiana must find a way to heal the broken dragon song to save England from a spreading blight. The lost artifact of music is the key. But how to find something lost so long ago? This is a brilliant conclusion to this series and I heartily recommend...
