Blurb: 
Dragonlord Linden Rathan, last-born of a race of immortal weredragons, has spent six hundred years alone, searching for his soultwin while his fellow Dragonlords watch over humanity"s Five Kingdoms. When the Queen of Cassori dies mysteriously, Linden and the other Dragonlords are called upon to prevent civil war as two human claimants vie for the regency. As the battle for Cassori rule escalates, Linden becomes the target of the Fellowship, a secret society of true-humans who could actually destroy his immortal life. Then he meets a beautiful young ship captain named Maurynna who may be the only one who can help Linden bring Cassori back from the brink of chaos. Praise for The Last Dragonlord: "I enjoyed this very much indeed. It"s nice to find a new writer of such obvious merit and vivid imageries. Joanne Bertin is a brand-new author whose first yarn is extremely readable, with good descriptions, good characterization, and really evil people for villains."I stayed up until 1:30 last night so I could finish it off. With a good book like this, I didn"t want to miss anything." --Anne McCaffrey "Joanne Bertin"s The Last Dragonlord is fresh and different, a story nobody"s ever told before. The writing is clear and powerful, and the characters appealing. Altogether, I had a wonderful time." --Joan D. Vinge "The Last Dragonlord by Joanne Bertin features villains who have not lost their humanity, and heroes who are still capable of making mistakes. Court intrigues are entangled with unabashed romance in this fast-paced and satisfying story. The reader gets a sense of the world"s rich history and unique magic." --Robin Hobb
