Effacer / Clear

Même ceux qui ne s’intéressent pas au naturalisme des dragons ont entendu parler de l’expédition de Lady Trent dans les déserts inhospitaliers d’Akhia. Les découvertes qu’elle y a faites font l’objet d’une légende romantique, qui l’a catapultée de l’obscurité académique à la célébrité mondiale. Les détails de sa vie personnelle à cette époque ne sont guère moins privés, puisqu’ils ont alimenté les ragots dans plusieurs pays.

Comme c’est souvent le cas dans la carrière de cette femme illustre, l’histoire publique est loin d’être complète. Dans ce quatrième volume de ses mémoires, Lady Trent raconte comment elle a obtenu son poste au sein de la Royal Scirling Army, comment des saboteurs étrangers ont mis en péril son travail et son bien-être, et comment sa quête déterminée de connaissances l’a conduite dans les profondeurs du Labyrinthe des Drakes, où l’action fortuite d’un dragon a ouvert la voie à sa plus grande réussite.

Even those who take no interest in the field of dragon naturalism have heard of Lady Trent’s expedition to the inhospitable deserts of Akhia. Her discoveries there are the stuff of romantic legend, catapulting her from scholarly obscurity to worldwide fame. The details of her personal life during that time are hardly less private, having provided fodder for gossips in several countries.

As is so often the case in the career of this illustrious woman, the public story is far from complete. In this, the fourth volume of her memoirs, Lady Trent relates how she acquired her position with the Royal Scirling Army; how foreign saboteurs imperiled both her work and her well-being; and how her determined pursuit of knowledge took her into the deepest reaches of the Labyrinth of Drakes, where the chance action of a dragon set the stage for her greatest achievement yet.
