Les lecteurs dévoués des précédents mémoires de Lady Trent, A Natural History of Dragons et The Tropic of Serpents, peuvent croire qu’ils connaissent déjà les détails de son voyage historique à bord du Basilisk, le navire de recherche royal, mais la véritable histoire de ce voyage éclairant, déchirant et scandaleux n’a jamais été révélée – jusqu’à présent.

Six ans après ses périlleux exploits en Eriga, Isabella se lance dans son expédition la plus ambitieuse à ce jour : un voyage de deux ans autour du monde pour étudier toutes sortes de dragons dans tous les endroits où ils peuvent se trouver. Qu’il s’agisse des serpents à plumes qui prennent le soleil dans les ruines d’une civilisation déchue ou des puissants serpents de mer des tropiques, ces créatures sont une source de fascination sans fin et de périls fréquents. Elle est accompagnée non seulement de son jeune fils, Jake, mais aussi d’un archéologue étranger chevaleresque dont les intérêts convergent avec ceux d’Isabella, tant sur le plan professionnel que personnel.

La science est, bien sûr, l’objectif premier du voyage, mais la vie d’Isabella est rarement aussi simple. Elle doit faire face à des tempêtes, des naufrages, des intrigues et des guerres, même si elle fait une découverte qui offre un nouvel aperçu révolutionnaire de l’histoire ancienne des dragons.

Devoted readers of Lady Trent’s earlier memoirs, A Natural History of Dragons and The Tropic of Serpents, may believe themselves already acquainted with the particulars of her historic voyage aboard the Royal Survey Ship Basilisk, but the true story of that illuminating, harrowing, and scandalous journey has never been revealed—until now.

Six years after her perilous exploits in Eriga, Isabella embarks on her most ambitious expedition yet: a two-year trip around the world to study all manner of dragons in every place they might be found. From feathered serpents sunning themselves in the ruins of a fallen civilization to the mighty sea serpents of the tropics, these creatures are a source of both endless fascination and frequent peril. Accompanying her is not only her young son, Jake, but a chivalrous foreign archaeologist whose interests converge with Isabella’s in ways both professional and personal.

Science is, of course, the primary objective of the voyage, but Isabella’s life is rarely so simple. She must cope with storms, shipwrecks, intrigue, and warfare, even as she makes a discovery that offers a revolutionary new insight into the ancient history of dragons.
