About the book

A Language of Dragons meets African mythology in a kingdom where dragon gods rule the earth and sky. From the New York Times bestselling author of Skin of the Sea.

The people are calling . . .
And the gods will answer.

Moremi has only ever known of two dragon gods watching over the prosperous Kingdom of Kwa. It is thanks to the great dragons that an unspeakable evil is kept at bay. But when someone tries to claim the gods' power for their own, the process goes dreadfully wrong and the world's darkest shadows are released.

Overnight, Kwa's ancient tales of monsters become all too real. After realising a strange affinity for both God's Moremi is now Kwa's only hope for restoring their full strength.

But will Jagun, the mysterious prince, let her anywhere near the gods? And how does her childhood friend, Nox, feel about it all? In any case, if Moremi fails her quest, then she risks the earth caving in and the sky crumbling down. . . .

    Great Book. But I am based.. it is dragons!!!!

    I really liked this book. Sadly it took me forever to get back into the storyline, after having had some forced time off in the middle of ‘Call Of The Dragon’. Bowen’s world building is very fun, and luckily not too elaborate as to bore one out. Her writing style is very pretty once I got along with certain vocabulary, that I will not define, because I only know which continent it stems from not which country (I am sorry for my ignorance. I was not prepared) Mo is an interesting choice MC considering that she seems to be the love child of ‘pick me’ and true heroine. Obviously I have grown to love her and I believe many others will too. Some parts towards the end sadly felt very long while others felt extremely rushed, which confused me in my 10 pm brain. All in all? This book is great! Before I was rudely interrupted by outer circumstances I actually spend a couple nights with the don’t-need-sleep-I-need-just-one-more-chapter-syndrome. So yes to anybody who will now ask me if they should read it!
