The Blood of a Dragon, fourth of the The Legends of Ethshar fantasy novels by Lawrence Watt-Evans, chronicles the first appearances of Dumery of Shiphaven and Teneria of Fishertown.Dumery, fourth child of the sixth-richest man in Ethshar of the Spices, had nothing left to inherit, so he and his father agreed that he ought to seek an apprenticeship—but the last thing Doran expected was that Dumery would ask to be apprenticed to a wizard.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alas, Dumery's dreams were shattered when Thetheran the wizard told him he possessed no capacity for wizardry whatsoever, and further investigation showed that he had no talent for any of the various magics of The World.Wandering around the city, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life, Dumery happened upon the sight of Thetheran resentfully spending a massive amount of gold to buy dragon's blood from a man who treated him with incredible disrespect, and came to a realization: If he became a dragon-hunter all those haughty wizards who'd rejected him would be begging for the precious resource.So he asked the dragon-hunter, Kensher, to take him on as an apprentice......and was bluntly rejected.Dumery didn't let that stop him, and impulsively decided on the spot to follow Kensher in the hopes of finding some way to change his mind, no matter how far he had to go.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Back home, Dumery's worried parents consulted a witch, who agreed to send her apprentice to find the boy.Said apprentice, Teneria, ended up running into trouble of her own...

All for Nothing: Dumery nearly gets himself killed chasing after Kensher, only to learn that he's got eleven kids, each of whom has a better claim to an apprenticeship at the dragon farm than Dumery ever could.

Anti-Hero: Unlike other Ethshar protagonists, Dumery is a reckless, stubborn brat, but he does still have a decent heart.

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: During the Charm Person incident mentioned below, Teneria was able to read every bit of her target's fear and confusion. Thanks to her mental contact with Adar, Teneria hears what The Calling sounds like and becomes sensitive to it as demonstrated later.
