Description

A world, split into two. Dragons. Humans. Each believe the other is a myth. In a world where women are not allowed to read, live alone, or pursue knowledge, Cor comes across a secret society who predicted the devastation that humankind can no longer ignore. A world away, Atesh studies a mysterious plant, determined to discover what is destroying his home and dragonkind with it. Cor and Atesh must each decide – what will they sacrifice to give their world a chance to survive?

A quirky and modern take on dragons and wizards, The Banished Craft begins the Shkode fantasy trilogy about a split world, exploring themes of identity, prejudice, violence, compassion, and the ways we are all connected.

A wonderfully delightful and deeply imaginative tale of struggle and the quest for knowledge, set in a well-developed and complex high fantasy setting.” —G.S. Jennsen, author of Science-Fiction saga Aurora Rhapsody

I love Bell’s sensitive and insightful exploration of compassion, connection, and relationships. The Banished Craft provides layers of thought-provoking ideas as well as good old-fashioned escapism.” —Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, bestselling author of The 30-Day Vegan Challenge

I was so impressed with The Banished Craft that it was one of just two novels I put on my Hugo ballot.” —Tia, contributor to Nerds of a Feather, Flock Together
