Dragonslayer, Book 2: The Iron Maiden
Dragonslayer Series Book #2 of 4
Author: Resa Nelson

Book Info

Published on December 31, 2011
Age Group: 14 years and up

Summary:
Astrid is reluctant to travel the winter route beyond the Northlands, even though it's her duty. She'd rather stay home in her village, surrounded by friends and neighbors. Ignoring the bonds of tradition, she decides to spend the cold winter months in the warmth of her blacksmithing shop. Why should she leave the comfort of her cottage to serve and protect foreigners who might raid and harm her native Northlands? Everything changes when a traveling merchant steals Starlight, the first dragonslayer's sword Astrid forged and her last link to her sweetheart DiStephan. Having no time to alert her friends, Astrid races in pursuit of the merchant, determined to reclaim Starlight as her own and return home in time for dinner. Instead, her quest leads her to new lands, unexpected friendships with foreigners, and a harrowing encounter with the damage done by the followers of a new god that considers women as nothing more than servants to men. All the while, she must be ready to face any dragon traveling the winter route.

Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
Don't move, Astrid told herself. The crumbling foliage danced in circles around her. Underneath the familiar scent of the forest - the tangy pine, the rotting and new wood, the rich earth - was the distinctive briny smell of lizard. One step on a crackling leaf would give away her position. If the lizard lay in wait nearby, it would be at her throat before she knew it.

Alone in the woods, no help would come to Astrid. She turned her head slightly into the oncoming breeze, cold and sharp. Brown and brittle leaves with curled edges drifted loose from their branches and swirled around Astrid like strange, dark snow in the cold breeze.
