书籍简介

故事紧接《A Natural History of Dragons》和《The Tropic of Serpents》，伊莎贝拉开启她最野心勃勃的海上远征探险之旅。海航历时两年，他们着手研究世界各地可能出现过的龙。从遗失文明中的羽毛蛇到热带里的强大海蛇，这些生物蕴藏无尽的魅力，又时常充满危险。陪伴她的不仅有小儿子杰克，还有一位风度翩翩的外国考古学家。无论在从专业还是个人角度来说，他的兴趣爱好与伊莎贝拉的专业十分趋同。

当然，科学才是航行的主要目标，但伊莎贝拉的生活不止这么简单。她必须应对暴风雨、沉船残骸、阴谋和战争，即使她发现了一个革命性的全新的龙族历史。

The thrilling adventure of Lady Trent continues in Marie Brennan’s Voyage of the Basilisk…

Devoted readers of Lady Trent’s earlier memoirs, A Natural History of Dragons and The Tropic of Serpents, may believe themselves already acquainted with the particulars of her historic voyage aboard the Royal Survey Ship Basilisk, but the true story of that illuminating, harrowing, and scandalous journey has never been revealed–until now.

Six years after her perilous exploits in Eriga, Isabella embarks on her most ambitious expedition yet: a two-year trip around the world to study all manner of dragons in every place they might be found. From feathered serpents sunning themselves in the ruins of a fallen civilization to the mighty sea serpents of the tropics, these creatures are a source of both endless fascination and frequent peril. Accompanying her is not only her young son, Jake, but a chivalrous foreign archaeologist whose interests converge with Isabella’s in ways both professional and personal.

Science is, of course, the primary objective of the voyage, but Isabella’s life is rarely so simple. She must cope with storms, shipwrecks, intrigue, and warfare, even as she makes a discovery that offers a revolutionary new insight into the ancient history of dragons.
