Hardt's Tale: A Mobious' Quest Novel (Mobious #1)
Gwendolyn Druyor
”I just Couldn't. Put. It. Down!” —K.T.
”Reminiscent of Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy, her hero (and dragon-heroine) carve a place of their own in the vast frontier world. Take a chance on Hardt's Tale: you won't regret it.” —C.T.
”I haven't fallen so completely in love with a dragon since Falcor in the Neverending Story.” —J.R.
Hardt is happy living a quiet, solitary life with his aunt. His insatiable curiosity is constantly fed by the unpredictable nature of life in his small agrarian Lander village.
But the great, fire-breathing dragons and their elven slaves are flying closer and closer to lander settlements. And rumor is they’ve developed a taste for human flesh. Hardt joins the guarde force preparing to destroy the beasts.
One dark night on solitary patrol, he finds himself facing a dragon.
And everything changes.
Hardt’s Tale is the epic story of one man’s battle to keep the sentient species of his world from destroying each other.

Do your readers have to read Hardt's Tale first?
No. The Mobious' Quest books can be read in any order. Each is a stand alone novel with the greater story of Mobious and dragons intricately weaving its way through all three. While Hardt's Tale was the first book to be published, I actually wrote Geoffrey's Queen first. And I'm writing Callie's Crown now!
Which book would you recommend reading first?
If you held my feet to the fire, I'd say you should read Hardt's Tale first. The plot is the more traditional. I wrote it with the Alice in Wonderland advice of “Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” Whereas Geoffrey's Queen is written in the fairly unusual plot structure of a mobious strip. There is no beginning and no end.
Why would you write a book with no beginning and no end?
So the lovers don't have to die of typhus or ye o happy dagger or an iceberg and poor planning. I wanted to write of a true love that doesn't end tragically. I prefer hope.
