Sandrider (2015)
“This was the time when, in the dragon’s experience, humans did secret things. From the top of his dune, Spit Fyre had a magnificent view. To the west, a gibbous moon was traveling through the star-dusted indigo sky, dropping slowly to Earth to meet the white ribbon of ocean that glimmered along the horizon. Silhouetted in the moonlight were the squat, square shapes of the port where, some twelve weeks ago, he had made landfall.
To the east, Spit Fyre saw the darkness of a vast, unpeopled desert.... He knew that just over the horizon—for he had seen it as he had flown into the port—lay a sprawling city of red stone. A faint glow rose up from it, which at this time of night could easily be mistaken for the sunrise.
But Spit Fyre was not on his dune to enjoy the view. He was there to guard the Egg of the Orm—the egg that he had watched his Imprintor, Septimus Heap, pursue only to be struck down by a Darke Dart for his trouble. Spit Fyre had no doubt that Septimus would return for the Egg, and when he did Spit Fyre was determined that Septimus would find his dragon waiting.MoreLess
