Book I of Voyages of the Flying Dragon. Twins Lenis and Missy are slaves aboard the Hiryu. They work as Bestia Keepers, communicating telepathically with the creatures that power the mighty airship. But when the airship is stolen from under the Warlord's nose, Lenis and Missy must obey the captain's mysterious orders - they must race over the perilous Wastelands, where corrupted Demons lie in wait. It is only when Lenis tells the captain about his dreams of the Blue Dragon of the East that the quest becomes clear. The survival of Apsilla's daughter may be their only hope - but will they find the dragon's egg in time, or will their enemies find them first? The Quillblade holds the key - if Missy can use it without forfeiting her soul. Cover art by Sammy Yuen.
