In a parallel universe, dragons are used for fuel and the people who understand them are feared as spies and traitors. Dorissa and Menilly, estranged sisters descended from the dragon-people, are desperate to find their runaway brother before he falls victim to the urban underworld. But the mysterious Mr Beringer believes they are the only key to saving the country from revolution. Who can be trusted in a fog-bound city, which simmers with unrest and deceit?

Paula Harmon was born in north London but her life as a country girl began at eighteen months when the family moved out, trailing slowly westwards from small town to village before settling in South Wales when she was eight.

Her writing life started with “Clanger” fan fiction and making up stories to act out with a kindred spirit. These largely involved flying unicorns. In later Welsh years, she wandered lonely as a … well, lonely person, in woods and streams and wrote about portals to another world and mysterious woodland spirits. But her greatest love was for historical fiction and mysteries and now she's writing her own.

With no clear idea what she wanted to be when she grew up apart from a writer, she graduated from Chichester University (Bishop Otter College) with a BA in English Literature and a vague idea that, after a bit of life experience, if all else failed, she’d become a teacher, even though she had never grown taller than the average ten year old. Whatever else happened, she was determined NOT to become a civil servant like her mother and be able to talk in form numbers.

At her first job interview, she answered “where do you see yourself in 10 years” with “writing” as opposed to “progressing in your company.” She didn’t get that job. She tried teaching and realised the one thing the world did not need was another bad teacher. Somehow or other she subsequently ended up as a civil servant and if you need to know a form number, she is your woman.

Her short stories include dragons, angst ridden teenagers, portals and civil servants (though not all in the same story - yet). Perhaps all the life experience was worth it in the end.

She lives in Dorset with her husband, has two adult children..

    5.0 out of 5 stars An epic adventure!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 4, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a short tale of twin sisters, Dorissa and Menilly, and their younger brother Endrin.
    Set in a parallel universe where dragons are exploited for their powers, and those who can commune with them are outcast, this story had me on the edge of my seat.

    Despite the length, each page packed a punch and I greedily drank in every detail.
    I believe this may be the first book I have ever read the entire way through (including other short works!), without stopping to make a cuppa or check my phone.

    I was completely enchanted by the legendary dragon people and enraged by the injustices of their world.

    If you are a lover of fantasy than THIS is the book for you, without a shadow (dragon) of a doubt!

    5 stars!

    Dragons, dragon people, milk maids and spies. Victorian London meets the future, meets fantasy.

    Thank goodness there’s more to come. I was just getting finished when it ended!
