Fire Flight and Other Tanninim Tales. Tanninim Tales, #1

Fire Flight: A Short Story Trilogy Some men are human. The exceptions hide in plain sight. They suppress their dragon forms, evading the eyes of an intolerant world. But compassion compels them to act when danger threatens the people around them. Their lives entangle with mankind's, every relationship risking discovery, but offering familial hope. A fireman who enters a burning home without protective gear.
A tutor who instructs without speech. And others. So while some men are human, the rest are tanninim. Oracles of the Vinedresser: The Four Seasons After Rome's armies withdraw, the prince of the Britons hopes to defeat the encroaching Saxon hordes by the advice of a cursed slave. Saxon incursions prove invasion looms for Deron, prince of the Britons. He reluctantly accepts counsel from a mysterious enslaved vinedresser, the center of a web of dark rumors.
Despite the pervasive superstition, Deron welcomes her intelligence. But along the way, he uncovers her shocking secret. And her dire situation. Obeying her oracles may steer him to a costly victory. But her curse could drag him to a bitter end.
