Through the lens of ecocriticism and critical posthumanism, thearticle explores the connection between the protagonist, Violet Sorrengail, and her dragon,Tairn, which challenges traditional anthropocentric hierarchies by emphasising interspeciescooperation. The narrative’s engagement with themes of mutual dependence, agency, andsurvival reflects on the broader implications of posthumanist alliances to resist ecologicaldegradation. Hence, this paper aims to contribute to discussions on the environmentalcrisis, highlighting the need for collaborative, multi-species solutions in the face of theAnthropocene’s destructive impact.
