About This Book

When a young dragon rider named Mkel and his dragon, Gallanth, begin having visions of the last horrendous war that the Dragon Alliance Republic fought against the Morgathian Empire, they realize that these visions are warning them of a rising darkness and battle yet to come. But as they train their soldiers for the war ahead, they discover that the Morgathians arent their only enemy; someone within the Alliance is conspiring against them. To make matters worse, a group of power-hungry senators

Our Review

A young dragon rider named Mkel and his bonded dragon Gallanth receive terrifying visions of a past war, forcing them to prepare the Dragon Alliance Republic for a new conflict against the rising Morgathian Empire. This high-stakes fantasy plunges readers directly into a world of political intrigue and looming magical warfare, where the bond between human and dragon is the key to survival. As Mkel and Gallanth rally their forces, they uncover a more immediate threat: a conspiracy of betrayal from within their own ranks. The tension escalates further with the introduction of a faction of power-hungry senators, creating a dangerous three-front crisis that challenges the very foundation of the Alliance.

The novel's strength lies in its classic yet compelling premise, blending epic dragon-riding action with a gripping mystery of political treason. Readers who crave stories of deep, telepathic bonds between riders and their majestic mounts will find the central relationship between Mkel and Gallanth thoroughly engaging. The internal conspiracy adds a layer of paranoia and suspense that elevates the story beyond a simple good-versus-evil narrative, making the battle for the Republic's soul as critical as the physical war against the Shadow. This is a solid entry for fans of dragon rider sagas looking for a tale where trust is as fragile as peace and the greatest enemies may be the ones you call ally.
