The memoir of a woman whose life as a dragon and as a Navajo have left her isolated. A 2010 NaNoWriMo entrant.
A life lived in a fantasy tale, Dinétah Dragon is the story of Ariel Sharpe, a Navajo woman blessed (or cursed) with the ability to grow into a dragon, complete with the trademark powers of flight and firecasting. The life she leads up to her transformation, as well as the complications it causes her and the adventures she embarks upon afterward, lead her away from a life of isolation as she relearns the power of family, friendship, faith, and true love.
Written as a memoir, Ariel's story is related through a transcriber who offers his own interjections about the woman's character, including her appearance, her mannerisms, how telling the story affects her, and the family she treasures after her story is complete. Her adventures will take her around the world, from the Middle East to the Indian Ocean, from Greece to Austria, battling the forces of evil incarnate leading up to a deadly battle to stop Armageddon in the place Ariel's story began, the American Southwest.
Part fantasy epic, part reflection, part love story, part rollicking adventure, Dinétah Dragon has elements to suit every reader's taste.
