Dear reader! We consider it our duty to warn you that reading this book is by no means for the faint of heart. At least to the same extent as studying the dragons themselves. On the other hand, the author is convinced that such research promises a reward that is unlikely to be matched by any other: even a brief moment, risking your life, spent next to a dragon is a delight that you will never experience again in your life. forget him.

And you can completely rely on the opinion of Isabella, Lady Trent: the whole world from Shirland to the most distant reaches of Eriga knows her as an outstanding naturalist and the most famous dragonologist, who brought the study of dragons out of the foggy the wilds of mythology and misunderstanding under the clear light of modern science. But before she became a famous scientist, Lady Trent was just a well-read young woman whose passion for science, natural history and, of course, dragons, defied the burden of her days.

And now before you, taking advantage of her in its own words, the true story of the quest of an inquisitive mind who risked his reputation, prospects and fragile human flesh in order to satisfy scientific curiosity, of the search for true love and happiness despite his own eccentricities, and, of course, of a thrilling expedition into the dangerous mountains of Vyštrány, during in which Lady Trent made the first of many historical discoveries that would change the world forever.
