You can’t write an epic fantasy series without having a sense of history.  The histories and other backgrounds are not always explored in the main books.  Thank goodness for companion stories. The Dragonlands is a World In-between Series companion story that tells the story of how the Dragonlands came to be filled with Dragons. The short story provides a background for events in Book 1 ( The World In-between ) of the series and converges with Book 4 ( Whispers ), which will be released later this year. The Dragonlands includes a bonus sneak peek of Whispers (The World In-between Book 4) and an overview of the series as a whole with glimpses of Books 5 and 6 of the series.
