Genre: YA Fantasy Adventure

She's a legend at 17, but only Henrietta knows the price she paid for her fame ... and it was much too high.


From the Winner of the California Fiction Writer's Book Contest comes this thrilling adventure of a young warrior on one final quest ... against an opponent she swore never to face again.

Henrietta, the legendary Dragon Slayer of Bleuve, can't face the thought of another kill. She's lost family, friends and home on her rocky road to fame. But when the young warrior is summoned by a King to retrieve the Dragon Stone from the last dragon in existence, she can't re fuse--her mentor lies dying, and the healing stone is all that can save him. This quest will be her most harrowing of all, for it means facing mysterious assassins, the dreaded choppy sea, and all with a misfit band--a young witch, a jester and a surly knight. And at journey's end, someone must die ... the dragon, or Henrietta.

Finally, the sweeping conclusion to the Henrietta The Dragon Slayer trilogy!

Parted by destiny, the four friends struggle to rejoin forces and face for a final time, the ruthless sorcerer intent on destroying them all.


In the biggest challenge of her life, Henrietta the legendary Dragon Slayer of Bleuve must lead her people into a battle that may end life as they know it. For they face no ordinary army, but the dark forces of a powerful sorcerer bent on overtaking all five kingdoms. And unless she can rescue her dauntless knight Franc, she must do it without his support.

Franc will follow Henrietta anywhere. But on a mission to find allies among the Horse People, he is kidnapped and taken by minions of the evil sorcerer Eyvindir. Will he find the strength and courage to survive, and fight again at Henrietta's side?

Paulette, the young fire witch, must stand trial for a murder committed out of desperation. In despair at her imprisonment by forces acting against her dearest friend, Jaxter, she escapes and flees to the frigid, forbidden land of Varangia to find a witch powerful enough to help her finally master fire. But what must she give up to gain the power to aid her friends?

Jaxter, now a king, must come to terms with the heavy responsibilities of ruling the Oro Islands, newly emerged from over 75 years of evil rule. This means doing right, even when it means going against ancient customs and protocols. Worse, the marauding Varangians press at his borders. He must find a way to defend his home, or none of them will survive.

Will Henrietta and her friends be able to stop the ruthless sorcerer from obliterating her, claiming the Dragon Stone, and ruling over the Five Kingdoms?

GUEST POST
What is something unique/quirky about you?
Well, this depends on who you ask! I notice that I am quite playful about a lot of things that people take seriously – like work. When I approach my work like a game, I am happy! I give myself points, scores, and deadlines.

Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you!
Lots of interesting things! How to choose? When I was 16 years old, I got to go to Quebec, Canada as an exchange student and live there for a year. It was interesting, hard, exciting, excruciating, and so satisfying to become fluent in French, a dream I’d had since I was 13 years old.


Where were you born/grew up at?
I was born in Santa Rosa, California and grew up mostly in Sonoma, California.


If you knew you'd die tomorrow, how would you spend your last day?
I’d spend the day with my husband, friends, and family in conversation, giving and receiving lots of hugs, and laughing, a lot, probably, crying too.


What are you passionate about these days?
I am passionate about what’s happening in the space industry and in the cutting edge of science. I watch all the rocket launches I can and watch lots of YouTube videos about the latest science ideas. I also read lots of articles on what’s happening in all areas of science too. I’m reading books on systems theory, something I’m fascinated by.

That said, I’m also passionate about studying ancient folklore, myths, and legends from around the world. Lately, I’ve been researching ancient Egypt, how the pyramids were built, the area’s ancient religions.


What do you do to unwind and relax?
I love watching TV shows and movies with my husband, and love to read novels too, of course. I also like travelling and visiting new parts of town and neighboring towns. Lastly, I like talking walks in my neighborhood, to the Rose Garden and to the cemetery.
