Children of the Gods

May the world be brighter for our burning.

At the edge of a war-torn world ruled by the Attican Empire and their fearsome Dragonmounts, the fate of nations falls upon a few individual destinies. A shaman. A huntress. A soldier. And a rebel spy.

The Faltari people are special, gifted by the gods with abilities beyond mortal men. Yet, they have chosen a life of peace and seclusion. As Malik reaches adulthood, he longs for more than the life of a village shaman. More than the future that stands before him on the Isle of Faltara. His best friend Riese is torn between a life of duty, and the destiny that lingers in the back of her mind.

But there are secrets on their island. Secrets that have sustained their people over the centuries. And when the truth comes to light, Malik and Riese must reckon with their people's shrouded past, and a destiny that will demand more of them than they ever imagined.

Across the world, Urla has sacrificed everything for the expansion of the Attican Empire, but a secret mission to the mysterious Isle of Faltara will force her to confront the brutal truth about the nation she serves.

And born in the wake of a failed uprising, Ava has grown up in the shadow of her people's conquerors, but the key to the empire's power may finally be within her grasp. If she can uncover the source of the empire's dragons, her parent's rebellion may finally stand a chance.

Worlds will collide. Fire will reign. All must choose a side. So begins the Age of Fire.

Classic meets modern fantasy in this dragon epic for fans of Ryan Cahill, John Gwynne, and Philip C. Quaintrell.
