…The sky is dark as the smoke a dragon exhales…
…People shouldn’t be afraid of their prime ministers, Vivien. It’s the prime ministers who should be afraid of their people.
The atmosphere of World War II at Bletchley Park
Corrupt government, class segregation, brainwashing
Dragons in the sky!
An alternative London in 1923
The world is falling apart! Protests against the Peace Treaty, which, in addition to harmony between dragons and humans, introduces a class system for humans!
However, this does not bother Vivien. She studies diligently and keeps as far away from any violations as possible. She is a polyglot, a talented translator of draconian languages, and belongs to the second class. And the words “second class” actually personify the difference between something and nothing.
However, when Viv's parents are arrested and her younger sister is in danger, she has a revelation. The world is not as fair and meritocratic as she saw it in her "soap bubble". In order to save her loved ones, Viv is essentially forced to make a "deal with the devil"... But the stakes in this deal are much, much higher than the lives of Vivien's family.
A bold blend of historical fiction and fantasy
