Not All Dragons in BC Bookworld

Vietnamese creation myths echo through David Ly’s debut fantasy novel Not All Dragons (Poplar Press $24), a myth-rich tale of memory, destiny and becoming. When Rhys washes ashore in the land of Lanilia with mystery wounds and no past, his search for identity unfolds through prophecy, dragons and an uneasy alliance with Delia, a mermaid who knows he does not belong. Blending epic fantasy with questions of selfhood and transformation, Not All Dragons extends Ly’s long-standing literary interests into speculative terrain.
