Zoran Chronicles Volume 2 Dragons, Power, Courts, and War

Twenty years have passed peacefully for Zoran and Zdenka. However, the other barons made deals with the other dragons on Voss. Now reds, blacks, browns, blues, greys, and greens share the sixteen worlds of the Federation of Planets. While many of these dragons are neutral towards the humans who gave them sanctuary on their worlds, some are not. It began with Zoran’s enemy barons making deals with the red and black dragons to raid and steal his valuable gemstone. Bit by bit, the raids escalate. When Zoran takes preventative measures, he discovers the dragons have been raiding other worlds as well. Bit by bit, the conflict escalates into open war between humans and dragons, with Zoran and his Gold Dragon friends trying hard to prevent it. In the end, they are not successful and an all out war begins. Still, he does not want to see genocide of the dragon race. Complicating matters, the long-lived dragons only breed once in ten years. With their numbers being steadily reduced, the reds and blacks concoct a scheme to inter-species breed with human females, who die giving birth to the red or black baby dragon. Zoran and friends work tirelessly to rescue these kidnapped women and save them from a certain death. In the process, their ancient history unfolds from Bandar Zar’s early journals found on Voss. From there, Zoran learns how the dragons came to Voss in the first place and hatches a plan to send them back.
