Hold your breath as the dragons mature and get the third book in this Epic Fantasy series today!

A Word From The Author

As an author my goal is to write tales that whisk the reader away to worlds of adventure; steep them in romance and wrap them in magic—bringing to life a believable place and time through fictional characters and events.

Writing has always been in my blood. My love of writing started in my early teens when I cut my teeth on Sci-Fi and the passion has never left me. I live in Southern California with my beautiful and fetching wife, along with two exceedingly talkative cats.

Fantastic and Original Story!

I found this book fantastic. Compelling and original storyline. The author layered a solid fictional history, deep character development, and exciting action into what I hope will become the foundation of an epic series. I can't wait to see what this author does in the future.

The author spent a tremendous amount of time imagining this world and the beings and creatures that dwell within. There is rich complexity to all the characters and filled with enough action and adventure to satisfy any diehard…

I would highly recommend this book as well as the “Fire of the Covenant” to any fan of the epic fantasy, adventure genre.
