The Darkwood Mysteries (16): The Rise of the Dragon
The Rise of the DragonWhen a child abduction inflames racial tensions between the London mob and the city's Chinese population, Darkwood suspects her old foe, the terrorist the Mandarin. Reunited with her ally, Captain Carstairs, a man duty-bound to take risks, Darkwood contemplates life without responsibility for Hobbs. With a missing child a cog in a larger, explosive plan, can anyone prevent the rise of the Dragon? Emily Darkwood is already resisting Victorian society's expectations of her as a woman of the upper classes, when she receives a strange and life-changing inheritance in the wake of her missing parents.
A stone of amber that draws her into mysteries, supernatural, cosmic, and criminal. Armed with this guide stone, her wits, revolver, sword-stick umbrella, and faithful servant-companion, the streetwise, scrappy, and young Jack Hobbs, she determines to challenge the mysteries and threats she encounters in her search to understand the origin and power of the stone and its connection to her parents-and their fates.
Yet dark forces conspire against her, and her drive for answers and her fight against the darkness of the world risks fought for medical studies, her friends, family-and her life. The Darkwood Mysteries are a series of short-stories, novellas, and novels that can largely be enjoyed as standalone tales of horror and adventure from any point, or together in order as part of a deeper mystery. The Rise of the Dragon is a novel in the series. A reader's enjoyment of this story will be enhanced by having read The Wrath of the Dragon.
