The Dragon Nimbus launched Irene Radford’s career with a fantasy world where magic depends on the existence of dragons. Four novels published between 1994 and 2000 follow magicians whose power derives from a symbiotic relationship with the dragon population. When the dragons are threatened, the entire magical system — and the civilization built on it — faces collapse.

The Glass Dragon, The Perfect Princess, The Loneliest Magician, and The Wizard’s Treasure build a world that Radford would return to across two additional series spanning nearly two decades.
