The dragon round

de Stephen S. Power

"A swashbuckling adventure with a dark side for fans of George R.R. Martin and Naomi Novik--when a ship captain is stranded on a deserted island by his mutinous crew, he finds a baby dragon that just might be the key to his salvation"-- After a monstrous dragon attacks the galley Comber, the surviving crewmembers decide to take the ship for themselves and give Captain Jeryon and his apothecary "the captain's chance": a small boat with no rudder, no sails, and nothing but the clothes on their backs to survive on the open sea. They land on an island and find a baby dragon that, if trained, could be their way home. But as Jeryon and the dragon grow closer, the captain begins to realize that even if he makes it off the island, his old life won't be waiting for him. To get justice, he'll have to take his own revenge.
