Description
A young dragonfly scribe with wanderlust. A deadly ranger. Thrown together to protect all that they hold dear.
For generations, the Odonata have lived under the ever-present threat of attack from the Hawker Clan. The Hawkers were once a noble race of paladin-protectors, masters of Chama Fogo fire magic, and sworn to defend their Odonata brethren. Then the Day of Corruption came and the Hawkers' Basilica home was engulfed with Malada, a pollution that twisted and tainted the Hawkers within, turning them into cruel and vicious beings, revelling in torture and cruelty.
When the Hawkers get dangerously close to uncovering what came of their Enchiridion, a powerful spell book seized by the Odonata's Emerald Rangers long ago, Dax, a young scribe, is sent on a quest with the beautiful and deadly Emerald Ranger Yslana to find Ithios the Viajante, the Jracon devoted to hiding the truth about the Enchiridion at all costs.
Can Dax and Yslana find the Viajante before the tainted Hawkers do, or will Odonata society fall to the cruel and vengeful hand of the Hawkers?
A tense and action-packed fantasy novel set in a vividly-described world that might be right under our noses.

The Jracon's Burden by Tom Simmons, A nicely written fantasy. Feels almost YA but not quite, more a coming-of-age story of a young Jracon that finds responsibility thrust upon him and cut off from all help. If you need a good distracting read, this is it.

Very interesting book. It's about dragonfly society. One group the Hawkers are tainted with a mysterious corruption and are fighting the Salix society. Dax a scribe wishes he was part of the warrior caste. Then the fun starts....I really enjoyed the book by Simmons. Hats off to Simmons for his creativity. I am waiting for the sequel.
