The best way to listen to Virtual Book Tour is in the Book of the Month app! Makiia Lucier, author of Dragonfruit, joins us on this week's episode of Virtual Book Tour! We learned that this beautiful fantasy novel was inspired by Makiia's own memories of growing up on Guam and the historical elements that she used as inspiration for her story. Hanalei of Tamarind is the cherished daughter of an old island family, but when her father steals a seadragon egg meant for an ailing princess, she is forced into a life of exile. In the years that follow, she finds solace in studying the majestic seadragons, until an encounter with a female dragon offers what she desires most. A chance to return home, and to right a terrible wrong. Get Dragonfruit at bookofthemonth.com. New members get their first book for just $9.99 with code VBT at checkout.
