Once the uncontested masters of the world, dragons have been living in hiding for over an age disguised as humans and other creatures.
Now, as a new age approaches, Tezcatlipoca, the former god of thunder and magic, sees his chance to reclaim the world for dragonkind and reestablish himself as a supreme being. Aided by his chief ally, Rasputin, he forms a conspiracy of drakes dedicated to turning his vision into reality.
Meanwhile, it's business as usual for best-selling YA author, Aurora Vanderbilt, and her intrepid daughter, Roz. Aurora thinks nothing of it when she starts to dream about a dragon from Mayan times because the ideas for her stories have always come to her in her sleep. Likewise, no one is surprised when Roz impulsively decides to hop a plane to Scotland and search for the Loch Ness Monster. Little do they know that they're both on a collision course with Tezcatlipoca's ruthless ambitions.
Revelations come at them fast and thick: dragons exist. Magic is real. Nothing is as it seems. One of them is overwhelmed by the knowledge. The other is overjoyed. Nevertheless, they must work together with their dragon allies to prevent an apocalypse.
A Conspiracy of Drakes is the first installment of The Dragon Manifestos' series. It is a fast-paced page-turner set in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. It will leave you wondering, 'What's next?!?' until the very last page.
