In the depths of despair, can two courageous sisters find a way to defy the treachery and crushing defeats that surround them? Cornered by impossible choices, Trưng Trắc and Trưng Nhị must dig deep within themselves to discover a glimmer of hope.

As loyalty, honor, and supernatural forces collide, the stage is set for a legendary battle between humans and dragons — a clash that will blur the lines between reality and myth.

Editorial Reviews

[Dragon 2 is] a gripping narrative filled with intense battles, political intrigue, and high emotions. I loved the vivid portrayal of the Trung sisters as not just fierce warriors but as leaders who bore the weight of their people's hopes with dignity and pride.

The fast pace keeps readers engaged and entertained, ensuring there is the perfect balance of action and the development arc of the sisters. ...I fell in love with the story and Trac and Nhi. I highly recommend it!

Readers' Favorite - Rabia Tanveer

[Dragon 2 is] an epic battle for freedom set against a spellbinding mythological metanarrative that artfully captures the rift between Vietnam and Imperial China.

Dragon is ... a well executed retelling of an obviously important cultural legend, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to fellow historical fiction readers.

Author of Rise of a Valkyrie - Simon Holley

The immersive descriptions transported me straight to ancient Vietnam with mountain encampments and rice paddies that became unexpected battlegrounds.

Dragon 2... is a compelling historical narrative that brings Vietnam's ancient past vividly to life and I would definitely recommend it.

Readers' Favorite - KC Finn

The narrative is fast, furious, and grisly for readers who appreciate action and war. Intermingled though are some beautiful, sensitive, and deeply spiritual thoughts and scenes relating to Vietnamese culture.

This is a wonderful story of courage, resistance against overwhelming odds, and true familial love. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
