Book excerpt: Halcyon Blithe, being a young man of good breeding and lineage as well as endowed with the qualities and abilities recognized as great potential, is ready to seek his fortune among those who tend and sail the awesome nautical juggernauts--the dragonships which harness the bodies and strength of living dragons with seafaring technology--as he accepts his rank as Dragonfrigate Wizard Halcyon Blithe. In the latest chapter of the young wizard's nautical education he finds himself second in command of a captured enemy vessel that must engage a demonship in combat. When he returns to port, Blythe is assigned duty on a dwarven dragonship. It is on this very ship that he and his shipmates encounter deceitful politics before they can regain the security of their Arcanian dragonship and trusted crewmates. Combining elements of Hornblower with Harry Potter, and Robert Louis Stevenson with Robin Hobb, Dragonfrigate Wizard Halcyon Blithe is a nautical tale rich in magic and intrigue set against a panorama of fantastic naval battles.
