Fragments of Glass excerpt - 01

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Did you just say Dragon?"

"Yes."

"And why are we going to see a Dragon?" Keith could hear hysteria in his aunts voice.

"Because they must be informed of the recent events concerning the Hamilton's deaths. If we tell them what's going on they might lend us their aid."

"Them? As in, you're taking us to see more than one?"

"Yes. They live as a clan."

Keith watched the blood drain out of his aunts face until she was almost as pale as Daniel.

"And at which point during this potential conversation do you think they're likely to eat us?"

"Quite possibly when you tell them the Hamilton's are dead."

"Oh damn."
