This event starts with a Brave New Words reading from Ian Green
Dragons are the ultimate fantasy creature – great in a fight, comfortable to ride and handy if you have forgotten your firelighter.
In RJ Barker’s The Tide Child Trilogy, people have even built ships out of the bones of supposedly extinct dragons, while Mark De Jager takes a more undercover approach in The Chronicles of Stratus. Buckle up for a wild ride!

About the authors:
Mark De Jager is a fanboy, reader, writer, gamer and self-confessed pizza addict. Aside from that, he’s also a fantasy author. His debut novel, Infernal, is being published by Del Rey on 11th August. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, he now lives in south London with his wife Liz (herself a published author) and their sometimes loony but always lazy dog in a house that is equal parts library and home.
Mark is on Twitter.
RJ Barker lives in Leeds with his wife, son and a collection of questionable taxidermy, odd art, scary music and more books than they have room for. He grew up reading whatever he could get his hands on, and has always been 'that one with the book in his pocket'. Having played in a rock band before deciding he was a rubbish musician, RJ's fourth novel, The Bone Ships, won the 2020 Robert Holdstock best novel award. His first trilogy The Wounded Kingdom (Age, Blood and King of Assassins) was nominated for the Gemmel award the Kitschie Award, The Compton Crook and the British Fantasy Society’s Best Debut and Robert Holdstock Best novel. His latest trilogy is the critically acclaimed, and pleasingly alliterate, Tide Child Trilogy: The Bone Ships, Call of the Bone Ships and The Bone Ships Wake.
