Shadow of Dragons

Dragon riders once ruled the skies… And soon they will fly again.

Centuries ago, dragons and humans defended the land of Astria side by side. Then the empire invaded, with huge creatures of ice and stone. And the dragons abandoned their allies.

Now, every Astrian is born in chains.

Nolan refuses to serve the invaders. On the streets of an occupied city, he picks pockets to survive, desperately staying one step ahead of the guards.

Then he steals from the wrong man…

With a legion of imperial soldiers closing in, Nolan is saved by a mysterious swordsman and his sharp-witted daughter.

As they flee into the mountains, his new companions speak of rebellion. Of an academy where Astrians train to fight. Of magic the empire failed to destroy.

Nolan has no time for legends.

But as he discovers the truth of Astria’s fall, he feels power stirring within him. Power that makes him believe, for the first time, that the empire could be destroyed.

Because the dragons may have vanished. But their fire has not gone out…

Shadow of Dragons is a thrilling epic fantasy of non-stop action, magical creatures, ancient ruins, and long-buried secrets. It’s perfect for fans of John Gwynne, Ryan Cahill, and Pierce Brown.
