DRAGON COAST: the sequel to Greg Van Eekhout's CALIFORNIA BONES and PACIFIC FIRE, in
which Daniel Blackland must pull off the most improbable theft of all.
Daniel's adopted son Sam, made from the magical essence of the tyrannical Hierarch of Southern
California whom Daniel overthrew and killed, is lost-consumed by the great Pacific firedrake
secretly assembled by Daniel's half-brother, Paul.
But Sam is still alive and aware, in magical form, trapped inside the dragon as it rampages around
Los Angeles, periodically torching a neighborhood or two.
Daniel has a plan to rescue Sam. It will involve the rarest of substances, axis mundi, pieces of
the bones of the great dragon at the center of the Earth. Daniel will have to go to the kingdom of
Northern California, boldly posing as his half-brother, come to claim his place in the competition
to be appointed Lord High Osteomancer of the Northern Kingdom. Only when the Northern Hierarch, in
her throne room at Golden Gate Park, raises her scepter to confirm Daniel in his position will he
have an opportunity to steal the axis mundi-under the gaze of the Hierarch herself.
