Instead of adding her to his menu, he spares her life, and inevitably becomes her aly, if not her friend.Īlys is infuriated by the dragon (who speaks with her in his human form that of a handsome seventeen year old youth) who seems to have no use for her-except that he is willing to help her get her revenge.
The dragon is capable of many transformations including that of a human. Soon, Alys finds herself as "Dragon's Bait," left as food for a fearsome dragon that ravages the nearby countryside.īut Alys is in for a suprise. The clever inquistor from a neighboring village incriminates her before her friends can step in. In this book, fifteen year old Alys is learning how to fend for herself her frail father is barely recovering from the winter's sickness while she must learn his tin-making trade to keep them both alive.Īll this comes crashing down upon her ears when she is accused of witchcraft (of which she is innocent) by her scheming neighbors, plotting to take her father's land from her. But the book is wonderful another of Vande Velde's recent publishings which, in my opinion, ever topple the last one in excellence. Okay, so the title of this review is corny.
