Synopsis: Hi Sej

Sejuay is a dragon of the Clan Porgoh. Porgoh, his clan's alpha, is determined to spearhead a cosmopolitan new era based on intellect and diplomacy, but a falling-out leads to Sejuay's exile from the clan, and his determination to show them up by living a thoughtless life, never questioning the world and never wasting energy on play or philosophy. This makes him an ideal personal steed for Emperor Dave, a cunning politician of a race of insect-like humanoids that dominate the planet. Sejuay soon finds himself culpable in terrible, inhumane atrocities that pit him squarely against his old clanmates, and most of the civilized world. Meanwhile, a strange entity made entirely of crystal is rising up from within the planet, threatening to exterminate everybody. It is powerful but childlike, and innocent of any cruel intentions. In the end, Sejuay finds that his life of shutting out all thoughts of morals and compassion has made him uniquely prepared for the monstrous task of murdering this life form. Then he gets thrown in prison for forty years. Maybe he writes his memoirs in prison, which would make a good framing device for the novel. Yay!
