hunters

"[The author] tells . . . [her] story of choosing the less-traveled path to a . . . life in outdoor pursuits like hunting and fishing. For her, . . . that has meant hunting as a way of harvesting food, caring deeply about conservation, sustainability and healthy eating, and getting closer to God in nature. In this . . . memoir for the adventurer in all of us, [she] takes readers along as she hunts caribou on the rugged Aleutian Islands, tracks a 1,500-pound bull moose across the unforgiving Yukon, and meets many other challenges of a life in the wild"--Provided by publisher.

"The Quin Zaza collides with a luxury airliner, leaving her grounded. The crew can barely afford to keep her aloft in the best of times, so, needless to say, they have no way to pay for repairs. Just when it looks like their draking days may be over, the crew hears of a 'ship eater' dragon that's been biting back at the humans who dare to sail the skies. The eye-popping bounty on its head makes this monstrosity perhaps the crew's last hope to get the Quin Zaza back in the air"--Back cover.

"As the airship Quin Zaza continues her never-ending voyage, the young draker Takita's days are filled with firsts. After her first chance to help butcher their latest catch, an excursion with Mika gives her the opportunity to learn more about the history of humanity's relationship with dragons. But what was supposed to be a simple stop turns complicated after a run-in with another draking crew, whose sloppy technique leads to disaster"--Back cover.

"With the Quin Zaza destroyed, Mika and the other drakers thought their adventures might be at an end. Fortunately, they strike a deal with Liriope, the president of the famous Lalage shipyard, to fix up their vessel better than new! Since the crew's got some downtime, they attend a party hosted by their extravagant friend Brno. However, the festivities come to a quick end when Vannie disappears! The crew rallies to find her, and their chase leads them to the war-torn nation of Arena, where they're quickly caught up in a battle with Vinnie and a dragon at the center!"--Back cover.

"The crew of the Quin Zaza is back in the air and enjoying a return to normalcy--and all the trouble that comes with it. Takita learns to shoot, while Mayne tackles a troublesome engine problem. Meanwhile, Lee teaches the men on board a harsh lesson about the dangers of gambling. The return to a stable routine is quickly upended when the crew runs into a group that calls themselves 'slayers'--drakers that kill dragons by any means necessary, even brutal ones. Could this be the beginning of a rivalry?"--Back cover.

"Long before reuniting in the city of Harley, Mika and Cujo were inseparable draking partners. After an incident drove a wedge between them, however, they bitterly parted ways, never expecting to see the other again... let alone work together! After a long night of reminiscing, Cujo enlists Mika to help him take down a dragon--none other than the famous Ol' Harpoon that Cujo failed to finish off three years ago. And so, the old duo take to the skies for one last catch"--Back cover.

"The ferocious ship eater is slain, Vannie is recovering, and the crew is finally back in the black! The stalwart drakers land in the city of Harley for some much-needed shore leave. But waiting for them in the city along with the warm food and cold drink is a trip into Mika's past. A washed-up dragon chaser named Cujo tells the story of how he and Mika braved the dangers of the Kraken, a deadly storm that made even the most experienced drakers quake in their boots . . ."--Back cover.

"After weathering a fierce battle with the legendarily delicious Tian Shan dragon and the slayers of the Plana Grava, the Quin Zaza's crew only finds themselves in even deeper trouble. From seemingly nowhere, a mighty new dragon appears! And it's no ordinary beast of the skies--this is the one that took down the original Quin Zaza! Mika and the others might need to call on some help from the most unlikely of sources if they hope to survive"--Back cover.

"This is the age of storm and murder. After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio. Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people: a huntress searching for her missing son, a jarl's daughter who has rejected privilege in pursuit of battle fame, and a thrall who has cast off his chains and now fights alongside the famed mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos."--Provided by publisher.
