J. Leigh

Tangled Paths-800 Cover reveal and Promotional

Twelve Ways create a thousand tangled paths.

Hatched from an egg but unable to shift into dragon form, Jathen is a Moot among the Tazu. His rightful throne is forbidden him because of his transformative handicap, and neither his culture nor his religion offer acceptance of his perceived flaws.

Driven by wounded anger, Jathen strikes out across the vast world beyond Tazu borders, desperate to find a place where he feels accepted and whole. Though he travels with the most trusted of companions, sabotage and conspiracy soon strike his quest. Jathen and his allies must struggle against man and magic alike, at the mercy of forces beyond their ken.

As Jathen presses on, his questions of belonging are surrounded by more of identity, loyalty, and betrayal. Where will the path of his destiny lead, and will he follow or fall?

I have yet to read a story about shapeshifting dragons. This book calls to me. It’s time to read outside the box and discover something new and exciting!

How about you? Do you tend to shy away from a book because it’s outside your normal genre, or do you get curious, like me, and dive in to see if you’ve been missing something?
