Runaway: Book 2 of Flight

Runaway: Book 2 of FLIGHT trilogy By Dawn Meredith

First paragraph:

High on a jagged mountain ridge scattered with snow, a great black dragon crouched, holding a torn brog carcass under his enormous, clawed feet. Called Ballickh Ry in his own tongue, ‘The Black Dragon King,’ had once been a mighty figure. Now, after emerging some months ago from a long hibernation, he was still bony and weak, yet he must soon begin a perilous journey north to discover his distant kin, if they had survived. In the arctic cathedrals of Shagrath, the White Kingdom, perhaps the ice dragons still breathed fire in their frozen dens. Perhaps the Shagrath Mathedden, the ancient creatures of the White Sea, swam and fed as if time had not passed at all. He had tried to find them once before and failed. As he gazed down over the land of Avendor far below, his heart was heavy. This was to be his last hope to revive his lost species. If only he could convince her to help him. Three months ago, her kind had warred with each other over the ownership of this land, killing and maiming. Their petty squabbles bored him. He did not want to get involved. He had only one purpose now. But would she respond to his calls?
