Guys. Guys, Dragons, guys. Dra-gons. Not lizards, DRA-GONS. They are -all- about the dragons in the Balkans, okay? DraGONz.
According to witchlore in the Balkans, witches were descended from Dragons who fell from the sky as, get this – METEORS. They fell into the rivers, the mountains, the trees, and those material things became their physical bodies. The dragons mate with, or give their blood to, a human who becomes a witch, or a dragon-man. Furthermore, these dragons are also related in certain myths to angels and faery folk.
I’m really enjoying this book.
