Forbidden Islands

Fresh from helping Queen Miriajona reclaim her throne, Tanial and Liam are bound to explode myths and taboos, by "e;exploring"e; one of the so-called Forbidden Islands, proscribed by legend and fell experience since history had been kept.Tanial will soon discover that legend and fell experience seldom arise without a firm genesis, and those about The Forbidden Islands are certainly not the exception. Those Tanial calls 'dragons' are the root of the taboos she faces; they are not uniformly pleased by the authorization she's been gifted. They react accordingly. Even those 'dragons' supporting Tanial are bound by a non-intervention rule. Tanial's sanction for travel allows her and company to sail to the island, and then explore for up to half a year. Hazards arise before the first landing.Death and prophecy follow in due course, along with grief, rescues and surprises.Tanial hopes her exploration of the Islands will prepare her for preventing a war. That wasn't one of the things Maman had shared growing up.Forbidden Islands is the fifth book of the Dragons Run My Life series, in which the 'dragons' affect Tanial's life more blatantly.
