A pilgrimage to the Dragon Temple opens a new chapter in Amian's life.
Tannara Young's contribution to this science fiction and fantasy anthology tells the story of Amian Milfre. When Amian decides she is not ready to move in with her daughter’s family, she sets out on a pilgrimage to a sacred mountain that her father spoke of long ago. After overcoming many dangers, relearning lost skills and meeting new kin, Amian at last discovers the secret of the Dragon Temple on Mt. Yessar.
At her son’s wedding, and on the brink of going to live in a distant city with her daughter’s family, Amian Milfre makes an impulsive decision to return to the highland plateau where she was born and go on the pilgrimage to the Dragon Temple on Mt. Yessar. She begins the trip with only her donkey, Mona, for company, but on the way overcomes bandits, snake-bites, illness and loneliness to find new friends and lost family and to complete her journey to the holy mountain.
