Lately, I've been talking about Bryan Davis's series Dragons in our Midst. Davis also wrote a sort of "sequel series" called Oracles of Fire.
The series Oracles of Fire continues to follow the adventures of the heroes we fell in love with in Dragons in our Midst, but the first book doesn't mention any of the humans we knew until the end of the book.
Why?
Because the first book, Eye of the Oracle, begins in Noah's day - right before God sends rain for the first time and floods the entire earth. And this same book ends about where the last book of the first series ends.
The storyline tends to jump from character to character, a few of whom actually survive a few thousand years to the present. Lilith (also known as Morgan), Namaah, Makaidos, Thigocia.
And Sapphira Adi.
Sapphira, once known as Mara, is a slave girl living in an underground world. She is the main character for this book.
Or maybe one of the main characters. Hmm, it's been so long since I've read it, I can't remember. I do remember the book focuses a lot on Sapphira, but it also focuses a lot elsewhere too. I guess if there is a main character other than Sapphira, it's probably Makaidos, the dragon king.
So, yup, that's the "sequel series" for you - the first book of it, anyways. I didn't really give you any plot, sorry. It's kind of hard to sum up something that takes place over the course of four thousand years. But it's definitely very interesting, even if I don't agree with how Davis portrayed some of the biblical events.
