Publisher Description

A kingdom divided. A reluctant hero. A choice that could seal its fate.

Neill never wanted to lead. Once a simple foot soldier for his father, he now faces an impossible mission: unite the fractured Middle Kingdom against the rising threat of the rogue sorcerer Ansall and his dragon, Zaxx. Doubt weighs heavy on Neill’s heart as he questions his ability to lead an army—especially with the lives of so many depending on his choices.

Duty calls Neill to lead the Dragon Riders alongside Char and their dragon, Paxala, but the path to becoming king is fraught with new enemies and dangerous temptations. When the mysterious Dark Prince arrives with a perilous offer, Neill’s resolve is tested like never before.

As Ansall’s power grows through dark magic, Neill must make a harrowing decision: follow his own desires or sacrifice everything for the kingdom. The fate of the realm rests in his hands—will he rise to the challenge, or will darkness consume them all?

Step into the Torvald Dragon Rider Universe—an interconnected saga told across six legendary dragon trilogies, eighteen books in all. Each trilogy can be read on its own, or experienced together as part of the epic saga of fire, flight, and destiny.
