Dragonsbane

Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly
1985
ISBN0345349393

I started reading the third book in this series, and realised that I needed to go back to the beginning to make sense of it. I am glad that I made the effort to request Dragonsbane and now look forward to reading the rest of the series.
Themes include magic, power and the secret desires of mages, dragons, gnomes and humans. And it is a great story, with vivid descriptions. There are very strong female characters.
If you want to know more about this book read this comprehensive review or get the book yourself.
