Publisher Description
The second volume in Margaret Weis's Dragonvald trilogy— she is truly the Mistress of Dragons
In Mistress Of Dragons, we were introduced to a world where political deception and greed have lead to a violation of the "hands off" policy of the Parliament of Dragons concerning the affairs of men. Indeed that violation threatens more than policy and order—it threatens the freedom of the human race.
In The Dragon's Son, there is a new hope in the form of a special offspring who might be able to bridge the anarchy that is disrupting the delicate and unseen order that the Parliament has tried to protect. The twin offspring of a high priestess and a dragon hold the key to man's future but their identity must be held secret, even from each other, until they have matured. One is raised in a human court, the other in hiding. But the link that exists between the twins will not be broken by mere distance, and the duality of their origin will unlock the new hope for a return to peace and safety as long as they live to maturity. It is up to Draconas, the special emissary of the Parliament, to make it happen for the sake of both Dragonkind and mankind alike despite the evil forces that are still gaining strength around them.

"Margaret Weis, while one of the greatest sci-fi novelists of all time, definatly has trouble with the 2nd novels in her series'. This is once again a good informational filler novel but could have been a bit deeper on the plot."

" Ven discovers how different he is from everyone else, and he discovers his brother and his father. "
— Duncan, 4/7/2011 -
" I enjoyed the book but the themes suddenly changed from the previous book. There is almost no mention of the intense love of Bellona and Melisande, almost as if the author was afraid to have risked too much in the previous book. This is a little disappointing. "
