Thank you again for sharing your tome A Practical Guide to Dragons and for the delightful notes you provided in our last correspondence.

Your descriptions of draconic adventure and intrigue have inspired me to write this series. Each book spotlights a different type of dragon, beginning with this enclosed volume chronicling your young friend Mudd’s thrilling mission to save his friend from the clutches of a vengeful red dragon. I hope that you will feel I have done justice to the tale.

Your humble servant,

Praise for

Red Dragon Codex

“Red Dragon Codex is fun tale of wonder, adventure, and dragons aplenty. R.D. Henham is a fine new storyteller, off to a very promising start.”

—David Farland, New York Times best-selling author

“Aided by almost unprecedented access to the Restricted Research Section in the Great Library at Palanthas, R. D. Henham has crafted an exciting tale with many facets: young adventurers risking their lives as they come of age, ancient dragons clashing in a centuries-old battle, secret identities, hidden motives, startling betrayals, and abiding loyalties. Layer by layer, all are revealed in a story that builds steadily toward a taut and thrilling climax.”

—Douglas Niles, author of The Rise of Solamnia trilogy

“Red Dragon Codex will appeal to readers of all ages. Populated with wonderful characters—Mudd, Sleekwing, Kirak, Hiera, and more—it presents a whimsical, dangerous journey that races to a satisfying end. A well-written and well-rounded tale that made me smile.”

—Jean Rabe, author of The Fifth Age trilogy

“Red Dragon Codex is such a great read. The imagery made me feel like I was there, especially the descriptions of the dragons and their surroundings. With great characters, lots of adventure, and just enough humor to lighten things up, you'll have a hard time putting this one down. Highly recommended.”

—James Dashner, author of The 13th Reality
