First Dragon Rider Trilogy
A kingdom in peril. A deadly secret. A choice that could shatter everything.
Neill Torvald has lived his life in the shadow of his father’s iron rule. Now, the future of the warlord’s empire rests on Neill’s shoulders, and his journey to the mysterious Draconis Order monastery is his last chance to prove his worth. But when a vicious ambush nearly kills him, Neill realizes that the dangers ahead are far greater than anyone could have imagined.
Saved by Jodreth, a cryptic monk with his own hidden agenda, Neill is thrust into a world of ancient magic, dragons, and treachery. Inside the sacred halls of the monastery, Neill encounters Char—a captivating and enigmatic student who warns him of a growing darkness within the Order. Together with her dragon, Paxala, they forge an alliance that will be tested by secrets and betrayals lurking around every corner.
The wrong decision could unleash a catastrophe that will consume both his kingdom and the world beyond. The right one could change his destiny forever—but it may cost him everything.
Sometimes, the past is best left behind…
Char longs for peace and escape, preferring her dreams to the ugly realities of an uncertain age. As an illegitimate daughter of the North Prince, Char has always felt deep insecurity, but she must put that aside when Zaxx gives her the task of retrieving an ancient crown from her family’s palace. If she brings him this crown, he says, he will allow the dragon hoard to choose their riders.
When her father sends for her to return home, fearing war, she senses an opportunity. But Char’s dragon Paxala has grander ideas—she wants to become the greatest of all dragons and defeat the ancient Zaxx. But she can’t do it without Char’s guidance and aid. Employing patience and skill, Char will have to learn the secrets of dragon lore hidden away in her father’s archives before Zaxx’s suspicions turn aggressive.
With the help of her love, Neill, Char discovers the secret of the old queen’s crown in her father’s castle, learning a tale of dark magic steeped in blood. But when her father wishes to marry her off to the leader of the Wildmen, the fate of Torvald will depend on her difficult choice: accept the role she has always played, or learn to trust her own power.
To unite a fractured kingdom, a reluctant hero must rise.
Neill has been charged with the impossible task of bringing the Middle Kingdom together to fight the burgeoning threat posed by the rogue sorcerer Ansall and his dragon Zaxx. Neill longs for his old life as a mere foot soldier for his father responsible only for his family’s wellbeing, and is unsure about whether he is fit to lead an army. Neill’s contemplative nature forces him to consider every aspect of the problems he faces, but often makes it difficult for him to take action—and failure to act could mean the deaths of many.
Now, echoing Char and their dragon Paxala, his duty beckons him to lead the Dragon
Riders—and take his rightful place as king—but with doubt and new enemies creeping in, his resolve will be tested. When the mysterious Dark Prince arrives with an offer, Neill will have to make a decision that could change the course of history. As Ansall grows in strength by harnessing black magic, Neill must choose between his own desires and the welfare of the entire kingdom. Can he rise to the challenge before it’s too late?

But as danger grows outside the monastery walls, Neill must decide where his loyalties lie: with his warlord father, or the new friends he has made in the wider world. The fires of war beckon, dragging Neill, Char, and Paxala into a conflict that could change the course of Torvald’s history forever.
And that threatens everything they hold dear…
