Publisher Description

The last dragon died 300 years ago, and the world didn't care!

Zhaid is on his first demon hunt. The young man dreams of escaping poverty by risking his life slaying the rocky monsters. Once, the dragon knights protected the world from the stony threat. Now, the outcast, the desperate, and the mad fight the mindless creatures.

There's money to be made if a man is willing to bet it all on his skill. The best demon hunters are the Craghammers, and Zhaid and his best friend have to prove themselves. Zhaid is desperate to escape his past and the guilt over his parents' deaths. A few hunts, and he'll be rich.

The demon cores are needed. By mages to fuel their magic. By the empire to fuel their war. And war is coming.

Princess Yhenli is desperate to stop the insane plan of the emperor, her father, to conquer the world. Under the guidance of the Living Goddess and with his golem creations, the emperor has created the deadliest force in the world. But there is one thing that could stop him.

A dragon that is about to awaken, and the knight she has already bonded with. The emperor dispatches his most capable captain to slay the nascent knight before he can find his dragon. Princess Yhenli will risk her life and position to save a stranger and thwart her father's bloody ambition.

The Dragon Knights will rise once more!
