Dragon's Heir

Born under three ill omens and the shadow of his mother's troubling predictions, Jodathyn Pallaurs is the unwanted son of an ancient royal bloodline. Forbidden from leaving the palace, he dreams of freedom. Jodathyn's determination to find purpose and meaning leads him to experiment with the ancient, forbidden power that flows in his veins. When the young Crown Prince is kidnapped, Jodathyn is thrust into an unfamiliar world of violence and treachery. But a strange power he does not understand brews beneath the surface and he is forced to choose between his loyalty to the crown and his life. From Jodathyn's ill-fated birth Kieryn Pallarus, the High King of Rama, has lied to protect his half-brother. The Crown Prince's disappearance has resulted in the call for Jodathyn's blood and Kieryn is forced to face the reality that he can longer protect Jodathyn. Will the High King choose to save his kingdom? Or will he choose to save Jodathyn?

The whisper of blood and vengeance is on the wind Rescued from the prison ship by Mandros, the dragon of Flame and Fury, Jodathyn recovers in the idyllic Isle of Torqui. His brief respite is shattered by the arrival of Galgothmeg's minions. Learning that Galgothmeg is in Rama, Mandros leaves Jodathyn in order to get help. But Jodathyn questions Mandros' true motives and, desperate, he returns to the mainland to search for his missing nephew. Never did he imagine his act of rebellion would set off a chain of events that ultimately bring his secrets to light. Born to be a soldier, Orion learned the code of honour from a young age. Now he's nothing more than a horse thief on the run. Separated from his master, Jodathyn, he finds himself charged with the safety of the young Crown Prince. The task might very well cost him his life. Kieryn, the High King of Rama, set out to find his missing son. Instead, he discovers the depth of the suffering of the ordinary folk in his kingdom. Realising that the great lords have lied to him from the very beginning of his reign, he knows the fight for his people is only just beginning. Meanwhile, his absence in the citadel has left Pallaryn vulnerable to his enemies. War is inevitable.
