The Dragon

In her quest to save the fabled Atlan, young Cija and her handsome lover, Smahil, flee the clutches of Zerd, the evil half-serpent who has conquered half the world. But, too late, they find there is no escape from their enemy—Zerd's army covers the land from hill to valley; all beings are swept along or destroyed; all cities are laid open to the plunder of his warriors. Now Cija must do the impossible. She must thwart Zerd's ravenous scheme of conquest—and it is the gods' decree that she must do it alone!
