The Story
Beneath Mount Merapi, something ancient is waking.
The volcano has been restless for weeks. The villages on its lower slopes have been evacuated. The seismologists are baffled. And high on the mountain, in the fumaroles where sulphurous steam rises through fractured rock, a dragon egg has appeared — the first in living memory. Perhaps the first in any memory.
What happens next on that mountain will change everything.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
Six weeks earlier, Elizabeth Jade Carver had more immediate concerns. A good set of A-Level results. Some much-needed repairs to her ageing motorbike. A quiet summer in Norton Magna, the village where she grew up above her adoptive parents’ pub. That was the plan.
Then a package arrived.
The gift of a mysterious dragon pendant unlocks memories of EJ’s forgotten past and a powerful legacy she never knew existed. Invited to uncover the secrets of her birthright, she rides north to Anglezarke Moor — and to Michelangelo, a modern-day dragon with a golden touch for making money and more patience than any creature has a right to. What Michelangelo tells her about her family, her past, and the world she has stumbled into is extraordinary. What he doesn’t tell her is how dangerous it is about to become.
Danger has a name: Jasper Moffett III. Jasper built Wolverine Petroleum, the world’s largest oil company, on a hidden blood pact with the Oil Dragon — a creature of ancient power bound to him by the darkest of contracts. With Wolverine’s reserves mysteriously failing and his empire beginning to crack, only a legendary dragon egg can save everything Jasper has spent his life building. Jasper has killed before to protect his secrets. He is ready to do so again.
From the fashionable back streets of Mayfair to the surveillance state of Beijing, EJ travels the world one step ahead of Jasper and his ruthless lieutenant, Marvin Thibodeaux. Along the way she discovers that Michelangelo is far from alone — that there are other dragons, each ancient, each extraordinary, each with their own stake in what is coming. And that the world she thought she knew has been hiding something vast beneath its surface for a very long time.
All roads lead to Java.
To the slopes of Mount Merapi, where Kartika — the coal-black naga queen of the mountain, ancient beyond reckoning, crowned in Javanese gold — has been keeping her own counsel. Not merely about the egg. About EJ.
What happens on that mountain cannot be undone. Before it is over, EJ will have lost something she cannot recover. And gained something she cannot yet name.
She arrives on that mountain as a girl from a village pub who is rather good in a crisis.
She does not leave it the same way.
In a final reckoning high in the New Mexico desert, EJ confronts Jasper and the Oil Dragon in a showdown that has been building since a storm-lashed night on Lake Maracaibo in 1973. As the Oil Dragon breaks free from its ancient oath, a new era begins — for dragons, for Anglezarke, and for the young woman who only wanted to fix her motorbike that June morning.
Anglezarke is an electrifying adventure of legacy, betrayal, and the price of freedom. For humans and dragons alike.
The book has a soundtrack. Four playlists so far, 45 tracks, full liner notes — and some Easter eggs hidden in the notes for readers who know where to look. →
