The Pygmy Dragon by Marc Secchia

Epic coming-of-age dragon tale

The pygmy dragon

Stolen from her jungle home and sold to a zookeeper, Pip knows only a world behind bars, a world in which a Pygmy warrior and her giant ape friends are a zoo attraction. She dreams of being Human. She dreams of escaping to the world outside her cage.

Then, the Dragon Zardon kidnaps her into a new life. Pip rides Dragonback across the Island-World to her new school - a school inside a volcano. A school where Humans learn to be Dragon Riders. But this is only a foretaste of her magical destiny, for the Dragon Assassins are coming. They have floated an Island across the Rift and their aim is nothing less than the massacre of all Dragons.

Now, the courage of the smallest will be tested to the utmost. For Pip is the Pygmy Dragon, and this is her tale.

Sample text:

Someone stroked her cheek. Pip moaned. “Easy, little one. Eat.”

She chewed rich, blood-dripping meat, and swallowed. She slept. She dreamed of the Shadow Dragon winging through the night, hunting for her. There was fleeing and endless burning in rivers of fire.

Wakefulness returned with the blink of her eye. Pip tasted blood in her mouth. Her eyesight zoomed outward, blurring, and then sharpened on a Dragon’s massive flank lying just inches from her nose. Such beautiful patterns. Transfixed, she stared at the scales for an interminable time before she began to separate out the sounds of the three hearts beating in that great body. She heard every sound in her vicinity. There were mites scratching beneath those scales, a dragonfly buzzing over on the far side of the cave, a person breathing softly nearby–and the scents! Her head exploded with scents. The air coursing through her elongated nostrils touched off cascades of wonder.

Pip wanted to roll over, but she could not seem to lift her head off a pile of furs. But an itch on her nose had to be scratched. She raised her hand and satisfied the itch with a five-inch claw. At a thought, the claw retracted into her finger. Pip watched the smooth flexion with dull amazement.
