Garden of the Purple Dragon

This is my latest book and it is the sequel to Dragonkeeper.

Living in lonely seclusion on the slopes of Tai Shan, Ping is coping with the trials of bringing up a small purple dragon. Her days are spent searching for worms, squashing caterpillars and mopping up dragon pee. As she watches the seasons change, it seems that this will be her life for years to come. But her peaceful life comes to an abrupt end with the arrival of people from her past-- friends and enemies.

An easier life beckons, but Ping doesn't know who to trust.

Will she and Kai find sanctuary in the Garden of the Purple Dragon?

Will Ping embrace her true destiny?

"Wilkinson once again blends fantasy and history to create a rich and absorbing portrait of Chinese life during the Han Dynasty…the prose is as strong and sinuous as a dragon’s tail."
Leonie Jordan, Australian Bookseller and Publisher, Sept 2005

"...an unstoppable read. This is a magnificently written and captivating story."
