Molti potrebbero credere di essere già a conoscenza dei particolari del lungo viaggio di Lady Trent a bordo della nave Basilisco, ma la vera storia fino ad ora non è mai stata rivelata. Sei anni dopo le sue pericolose imprese a Eriga, Isabella intraprende la sua spedizione più ambiziosa: un viaggio di due anni intorno al mondo per studiare ogni sorta di drago, ovunque si trovi. Ad accompagnarla non è solo il suo giovane figlio, Jake, ma anche un cavalleresco archeologo straniero i cui interessi convergono con quelli di Isabella sia in senso professionale che personale.

Anche chi non si è mai interessato alla scienza naturale dei draghi ha sentito parlare della spedizione di Lady Trent negli inospitali deserti di Akhia. Le sue scoperte, divenute leggenda, l'hanno catapultata da anonima accademica alla fama mondiale. In questo quarto volume delle sue memorie, Lady Trent racconta di come ha ottenuto il suo incarico presso l'Esercito Reale di Scirling, come avventure al limite del possibile hanno messo in pericolo il suo lavoro e la sua stessa vita e come la sua instancabile sete di conoscenza l'ha spinta nei meandri del Labirinto dei draghi.

La storia di Lady Trent continua in questo secondo volume incredibilmente autentico e toccante, dove la protagonista ripercorre la tappa successiva della sua illustre (e talvolta scandalosa) carriera. Tre anni dopo i fatidici viaggi nell'inaccessibile regione di Vystrana, Isabella sfida di nuovo la sua famiglia e le convenzioni sociali per imbarcarsi in una spedizione verso il continente di Eriga, devastato dalla guerra, dimora di specie draconiane bizzarre.

"Storia naturale dei draghi" è il primo episodio di una saga che ha per protagonista un'eroina anticonformista, capace di rischiare la reputazione e la vita per soddisfare la sua curiosità scientifica: è la storia di una donna che cerca (e trova) il vero amore e il racconto di come il suo cuore l'abbia sempre portata verso ciò che desiderava: la scienza, i draghi e la libertà. In un'età vittoriana al culmine del suo splendore, tra luci e ombre, Lady Isabella Trent è la più eminente naturalista di draghi vivente.

Most people believe democracy is a uniquely just form of government. They believe people have the right to an equal share of political power. And they believe that political participation is good for us—it empowers us, helps us get what we want, and tends to make us smarter, more virtuous, and more caring for one another. These are some of our most cherished ideas about democracy. But Jason Brennan says they are all wrong. In this trenchant book, Brennan argues that democracy should be judged by its results—and the results are not good enough.
