The Dragon's Pearl — J. Kathleen Cheney

In three new stories, the Zheng family finds themselves still entangled in the affairs of dragons. In "The Legacy of Dragons", a dragon pursues them, expecting Yun-qi and Kseniya to fulfill a distasteful bargain made by his wizard father, Jiang-long. In "The Dragon's Pearl", a dragon comes to visit the Zheng household, seeking to learn the ways of humans. In "The Waiting Bride", Jia-li must decide whether she is ready to be married, but others are seeking to interfere between her and her intended husband.
