Born into a world where women were not supposed to care anything about dragons, Lady Trent’s passion and fascination led her to many great discoveries about the creatures. Her life story begins with her secretly reading books on dragons and continues with finally finding a husband who would support her interest. Eventually she would defy convention and leave the comforts of home to study the dragons in their natural habitat.

Her memoir promises to tell the truth of her harrowing experiences with dragons, smugglers and daring adventure in A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan. This fantasy is written in the style of a Victorian memoir with detailed illustrations of dragons and others. This is the first book in a new series. Brennan is also the author of numerous books including Midnight Never Come, In Ashes Lie, A Star Shall Fall, and With Fate Conspire.
