The Isle of Lonely Monsters
Formats & Editions
Meixin is a monster hunter who rescues more monsters than she kills. She also hides a secret: she is a monster herself.
Faran the Green is a sorcerer with something to prove and someone to find.
When a magical reward is offered to anyone who can capture the rumoured last dragon in the kingdom, Faran is determined to win it - with the help of reclusive, yet renowned hunter, Meixin.
At first, Meixin refuses the charmingly earnest sorcerer, until she realises that she can use Faran to find the dragon for her own purposes. But when their hunt threatens to expose her sanctuary and her secrets, she must choose a side - man or monster - even if the line between them is only as thin as water . . .
