Shrinking back into the thick Central America Jungle in an effort to obscure himself from the incoming gunfire, Christian Simpkins desperately tried to recall the details of his job description at the Foreign Office. His errand to Belize was to simply liaise with a man acting as a mediator in discussions with neighbouring Guatemala, as there was a bit of a to-do regarding some recent border skirmishes. The events that soon unfolded, encompassed huge wealth to grinding poverty and orderly civility to outright anarchy. Traffickers, smugglers and bandits vied with overly enthusiastic security services. Jungle greens were the dress of the day, and among this chaos stood one nervous young man in a white linen suit, looking up to the sky above. A grand design was up there, and therein lay hope. A conceptual novel woven around a novel concept. A sequel to Simpkins previous' adventures in the Sahara.

Kids will love spotting the funny details hidden in this witty take on an age-old moral, while their parents—particularly any who've ever undertaken a remodel—will chuckle with recognition.

Ansley has been looking for his dragon since Byron was taken from him a hundred years ago. The sacrifice of his shield and the man he was in love with was necessary, but Ansley can’t find peace, and neither can the other five mages he considers his brothers, who also shared that sacrifice. They’ve been without their other half for so long that some of them have lost hope. But not Ansley. Parker has no memory beyond the past hundred years. He’s been moving every ten years or so because he’s not aging—which probably has to do with his ability to shift into a dragon—but this time around, it’s harder to leave everything behind. He doesn’t have a choice, though. When Ansley finally finds the right spell, it leads him straight to Byron. But Byron isn’t Byron anymore. A hundred years and no memories turned him into a new man. A man Ansley likes even more than he did Byron. Ansley’s job is to find the other five dragons, but with the threat that caused the mages to lose the dragons rising again, he might not be able to do it in time. And if he can’t, it could mean death for all of them.
