Cockfighting. With dragons.The Pit Dragon Chronicles are a trilogy series of books by Jane Yolen, consisting of Dragon's Blood (1982), Heart's Blood (1984), A Sending Of Dragons (1987), and Dragon's Heart (2009).The story takes place A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away..., on the harsh desert planet of Austar IV. Once used to dispose of criminals, Austar IV has now flourished, under a system of masters and 'bonders', a lower class that has to pay a bond price to rise up in the world. The books mainly revolves around Jakkin Stewart, a worker at a dragon farm run by the mysterious Master Sarkkhan. He steals a dragon hatchling, which he names Heart's Blood, and manages to raise it into one of the greatest Pit fighters the world has ever seen.Of course, things aren't quite as simple. In the later books, Jakkin quickly learns of The Federation's attempts to control Austar IV, a rebel uprising, and the cruelty society inflicts upon dragons. And thus does the Space Opera unfold... | |

Starfish Language | |
| Pit Dragon Chronicles / int_115b9907 | comment |
Starfish Language: The patterns of colors that dragons send. Until Dragon's Heart, where this aspect is suddenly almost nonexistent, dragons communicate with trainers/tenders this way, and said humans must learn what the colors mean and recognize different dragons in part by their sendings. At the end of Heart's Blood something happens to Jakkin and Akki which lets them interpret these as words and create sendings themselves, though color is still a big part of the whole thing. | |

The Heart: In A Sending of Dragons, while helping Jakkin with a plan Sssargon proudly declares that he is Jakkin's eyes. The Tri say that they are his ears. Sssasha, always more deliberate and patient but often somewhat wiser, tells him "I am thy heart." | |

Letter Motif | |
| Pit Dragon Chronicles / int_3d134824 | comment |
Letter Motif: The double K is found in almost all names. It appears to be a nod to Austar's original designation when it was a penal colony, KK 29. A few higher-class characters are observed to lack the double K. It's later confirmed that these are the descendants of the guards. It's stated in the first book that people who were born as Bonders have a double-k in their name. Jakkin is an exception: he was born free, but was named after his grandfather, who was a Bonder. His mother started off without a double-k name, but when she went into bond she had to change that. In the fourth book, it's mentioned that multiple characters have changed their names to omit the double K. Henkky, for example, offhandedly mentions that she's spelling it "Henky" nowadays, although the original spelling is maintained in the narrative proper. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Heart's Blood dies saving Jakkin and Akki. After her death, she saves them again from the brutal cold of the night. In Dragon's Heart, Errikkin, previously characterized as a goldbricking suck-up, launches a reckless single-handed attack on a trog who's trying to kill Jakkin. He manages to do some damage before the trog throws him off and fatally crushes his spine. | |

Sssargon and Sssasha are also mute, though they're far from silent telepathically. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Pit Dragon Chronicles / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: With twenty two years passing between the writing of the third and fourth book, these abound. Suddenly, there is no difference between picking up on sendings that are color patterns and sendings that are words. Very few humans can pick up on the sendings of dragons, to the point where it's commonly assumed that this is impossible. The cave people are now all called 'trogs' without so much as being named that. Insects are able to send, if weakly. Being able to psychically tell a dragon what to do is an unheard-of and disturbing thing. The triplets all came from one egg. All water blocks sendings. Jakkin has totally forgiven Erikkin for selling him out. Dragons are no longer mentally Starfish Aliens, but are clearly less intelligent and capable than humans and do not have senses of humor beyond slapstick. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Pit Dragon Chronicles / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: Up to the size of an elephant but not rideable, burning blood, vegetarian though far from peaceful, a range of colors from yellow to red which suggest their temperament, and telepathic (but "sending" only distinctive patterns of color unless you've undergone a certain process.) | |

Groin Attack | |
| Pit Dragon Chronicles / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Part of the series' spoof of Dragon Riders. Dragons have scales with extremely sharp edges along their backs, so any attempts to straddle one would end... painfully. | |

Jerkass: Likkarn, especially at the beginning of Dragon's Blood, when he's really hitting the blisterweed. He becomes less so after he quits smoking. | |

Late to the Punchline: The "baggeries" are implied to be brothels. Most young readers won't get this implication until they're older. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: The timeline for the stories take place in 2400 A.D., and a fictional encyclopedia entry prefaces each book as a way to enter in with the futuristic theories/ideas. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Literally. Servants need to earn enough to buy their way out of bond. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Pit Dragon Chronicles / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: All of Sarkkhan's named dragons come from a "Heart" or a "Blood" lineage. Females are "Heart"s, males are "Blood"s. Heart's Blood is the product of a mating between the two lines. And the aforementioned Letter Motif in human names also counts as Theme Naming. | |
