Power and Majesty, the first book of Tansy's Creature Court fantasy trilogy featuring flappers, shapechangers and bloodthirsty court politics, will be released from HarperCollins Voyager in June 2010.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune needs a dragon to protect him.
Dimity, Dido and Chambrey Iverwold no longer have a family dragon. Without their patron, they are alone in a world of invitations, assemblies and matchmaking. This season, with Chambrey finally in control of his fortune, the hungry fortune hunters are circling. Dimity is determined to save her brother from the worst fate of all: an unwise marriage.
Enter Mr Rackham: proud family friend, reliable gentleman hero, and nephew of Lady Beautrice de Bramble, one of the land's most intimidating dragons. Another young lady might think Mr Rackham was the answer to her prayers, but all Dimity can see is yet another eligible gentleman who needs to be saved from his own terrible life choices.
When you don't have a dragon, your only option is to BE the dragon.
