Meanwhile, Aedhir learns the terrible truth about the Torachan Empire’s interest in the Enghan -- and that when the Empire has conquered these beleaguered tribes, they will come next for his own homeland of Tiralainn.

| BOOK OF DRAGONS (Vol. 5 of 5) The adventure concludes in this, the last installment in the Book of Dragons saga. The long journey is almost over for Rhyden Fabhcun and the Oirat. They've made it to the ancient, underground city of Heese, but so have their mortal enemies, the Khahl. The ruthless spirit-queen Mongoljin has grown more powerful than even the Oirat's greatest ally, Trejaeran Muirel, and in the end, it will be up to Rhyden to face her in a desperate final stand. And if Rhyden fails, he'll not only lose everyone and everything that has grown dear to him -- but also face banishment in a nightmarish realm of eternal darkness. Meanwhile, Aedhir Fainne finds himself on the eve of battle, joining the ranks of the Enghan army against the indomitable might of the Torachan empire. Will a final bargain with their enemies insure the safe return of the young Enghan heir, and Aedhir's own children, or will Aedhir risk everything -- including war -- to save those he loves? |
| And in the imperial stronghold of Kharhorin, rumor of political upheaval shakes the city to its very foundation and imperial consul Aulus Tertius spares no expense -- or brutal effort -- to insure that his holdings remain in his sadistic possession --especially Aedhir's daughter, Aelwen. Friends will be lost, innocence shattered, blood shed and worlds forever changed in a race against time to see who will reach the dragons' lair first-and who will survive long enough to lay claim to the dragons.

| The Chronicles of Tiralainn are my first published books, my re-introduction to the world of writing novel-length fiction after a nearly 10 year hiatus. "Book of Days," the first in the series, was written in 2002 after the death of my uncle Pete, in whose memory the book is dedicated. He loved epic sword-and-sorcery fantasy tales, and I wrote "Book of Days" because I hope he would have enjoyed it. "Book of Days" went on to be one of the launch titles for DDP's Dragon Tooth Fantasy imprint, was named one of the Top Ten Science-Fiction Fantasy Novels of 2005 in the annual Preditors & Editors online readers poll and was a Finalist in the 2005 Dream Realm Awards for excellence in electronically published speculative fiction. The series will always be near and dear to my heart, not only because I wrote it for Pete, but because it chronicles my maturation as a writer over these past years. I've written my entire life, ever since childhood, but it wasn't until I started work on "Book of Days" that I seriously devoted myself to improving my craft, honing my skills and building a career for myself as a fiction author. I think you can see that evidenced in the evolution of the characters and storylines of the Tiralainn books. Practice makes perfect, or so they say, and Tiralainn was a great world on which to cut my writing teeth. |
| BOOK OF SHADOWS A Tale from the Chronicles of Tiralainn Twenty years pass between the events in Book of Days and its sequels, Book of Thieves and Book of Dragons, but that doesn't mean everything was peaceful in Tiralainn in the meanwhile.

And in the second part, Iasal Gabhlan is one of the greatest Elfin warriors who has ever lived. Will his love as a father be strong enough to defy even destiny itself to protect his daughter?
