Abandoned at birth by her parents, Auli-Ambar is seen as a child blighted by a callous talon-stroke of fate. A worthless burden, she is blind, severely disfigured, and fit only for the most menial tasks. Then, a simple act of kindness changes her life. Flown to the Halls of the Dragons, the painfully shy girl becomes a cleaner of Dragon roosts and a helpless wanderer of the Dragon Library. Here, Auli is able to walk amidst the lore she is drawn to so profoundly. She can touch it and imagine worlds within scrolls. She thrills to the hallowed scents of knowledge but aches for what blindness has forever denied her. In the cruelest of ironies, Auli discovers she possesses magic that makes people and Dragons forget her very existence. With this disremembrance, the accursed power of loneliness, she can only despair. Little does anyone suspect that the fate of all Dragonkind rests in her hands... But one will not forget. Deep amidst the forbidden racks of draconic scroll lore, where Auli-Ambar has unwittingly breached the protective wards, the young Dragon scholar, Arkurion the Mercury Blue, will discover her true gift and ignite its flame. Now, in the environs of a magical library overseen by the mighty Dragon Librarian Sazutharr, the extraordinary courage and integrity of a blind girl will finally be given the chance to blossom.

Seller's Description:
None. Near Fine. The third book of the incredibly popular Jalna series. The Jalna series is a sixteen novel family saga about the Whiteoak family. Jalna, a city in west-central India, is the name of the manor house where the Whiteoaks live. The serial tells the story of over one hundred years of the Whiteoak family from 1854-1954 and the novels were not written in sequential order. The Master of Jalna is the tenth book chronologically. Mazo de la Roche found fame with her Jalna series as it was one of the most popular book series of her time. She had her first story published in Munsey's Magazine in 1902 but did not begin her writing career until after the death of her father. Her first two novels were romantic novels and gave her little income or recognition. The Jalna series has sold more than eleven million copies in 193 English and 92 foreign editions. In a half calf binding. Externally, very smart. Spine has faded slightly. Binder's stamp to verso of front endpaper, J A E Bumpus, 350 Oxford Street. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Near Fine.
