Darque Legends

I am The Dragon, berserk indeed, of Dragon Blood and Dragon Seed. This is my story, so am I told, to pass along these Legends bold. Darque Aalanna Grifynn, known as the Dragon, is now the Battle Commander of the Dragon Clan, home of the Warrior Brotherhood. At just eighteen winters, she ranks the most elite fighting force in all Kadoor. Taking her field promotion when her father was forced Past the Veil afore her eyes, she and her LifeBond partner and lifemate, Gunnarr the Mighty Blue, High Prince of the Highland Dragons, lead her Warriors to victory against the Hoard in the Battle for the Dragon Clan, the most horrific since the Last Holocaust. With few left to start o'er, she must embrace her destiny, for the Warriors are the last hope against the Evil One. Known as the Triad Prophesies, Corbyn the Fay sought their realization throughout the ages. The Return of the Dragon, the Return of the True King, and the Death of Life. Darque the Dragon, has returned. 'And there will be a girl child born to the Race of Man, of Dragon Blood and Dragon Seed, with flaming red hair and piercing blue eyes, who will take up the Sword and lead the Races from near extinction to a New Beginning.' Gabriel, born and raised in obscurity, will become the most hunted man in all Kadoor. 'And through the Warriors of the Dragon Clan, the True King shall return to claim his rightful throne.' Synahmarr, the long missing niece of the Last Dragon Matriarch, is alive! 'As a Phoenix rises from the ashes, so must the lost one rise to avert the death of life.' From near thirty winters past, through the Battle for the Dragon Clan and beyond, a convergence is rushing toward the mysterious Keep of St Swiftyn's. With the Fates hounding their every move, can Darque rebuild the Brotherhood, find the True King, and prevent the death of life? Against incredible odds, does she have time?

'Twas a time of war. The Black had returned, his despicable Hoard gaining power with astonishing ease amongst those unfamiliar with their own history. Humans and the Magic bearing Races had drifted apart since the Last Holocaust, and many chose ignorance o'er facing the truth that the Evil One was rising once more. 'Twas no less so than with Lord Rohar, the royal leader of the Sprite Nation, upon the Island of Dreams. While Darque and the Dragon Clan were entering the Black War, the 7th Egg mysteriously disappeared from the island, along with the Heir Apparent of the Sprite Nation, Kevon. The boy had been poisoned by the Sorcerer's Spell Sword and the only one who could heal him was Myrrdin's sister, Persephone. But she, along with the entire Wyrdritch, homeland of the Elves, disappeared at the time of the Last Holocaust. Did she yet live? Framed for their abductions, 'twas up to Caleichante, Captain of the Sprite Elite Guard to make the treacherous journey 'cross Kadoor with the two Princes, chased by her own Guard and the Hoard, to find the Wyrdritch and Persephone afore 'twas too late. This was a race with more than one life to lose, a mission she could not afford to fail, for if Kevon died, if the Egg landed in Hoard hands, all the Races would once again be at war with each other. 'Twould be nowhere safe on all Kadoor.

When Storrm, sister of the Battle Commander and Second in Command of the Dragon Clan, finds herself and her Dragon partner, Mystynn the Green, within the Void separating one side of the Veil from the other, she knows not how they'd gotten there. Suspecting Mystynn of having Blocked her memories of the past winter, she refuses to budge, demanding to know what happened or to return to the fight, where they were killed, to try to survive using the Magical Healing they Share. But, Mystynn made a promise and though traveling through the Void takes place in the blink of an eye for those left behind, time has no meaning within, so he is duty-bound to take the time to prove to her that they cannot return afore he can get her to move on Past the Veil. Even fearing she will come to hate him when she learns the truth, he Shares his Memories and they embark on a journey of discovery that begins a full fifty winters afore the Battle for the Dragon Clan. Many secrets unfold in their travels along the streamline of Memory and Storrm is made privy to astonishing new intel. But, once she does learn the truth of the past winter's events, she is faced with the most painful decision of her short span of days. Should they return to the battle that forced them to the Void? Or, should they continue through to the Beyond?
