In 500 BC, dragons have returned after a long absence to the skies of Scotland. A young man, Warwick, must face his destiny and embark on a dangerous quest to find the hidden meaning behind a mysterious key and a hazy prophecy. As he travels further from home, he begins to understand that his fate is connected to the dragons, and he must rise to the challenges of his time. An arduous journey takes him over mountains, inside caves, and across waterways to learn that the dragons are, in fact, real and not mythical and that they will bring winds and fires of destruction. With the help of Rowan, a seer, he must unravel the mysteries of the dragons and his role in their destruction. Warwick will risk everything to become the dragon slayer he is prophesied to be.
This action-packed fantasy has dragon battles and dangerous endeavors as the protagonist seeks answers while the dragons stalk and terrorize. The journey to his destiny leads Warwick through a natural world beautifully rendered. The Scottish landscape comes to life with every path, crag, and forest that he travels through. The suspense remains taut as the dragons grow bolder and Warwick closes in on the truth of his power. A world brought to life with glorious detail and profound wisdom will move readers to follow the hero on his quest across wild lands and uncertain battles. The author balances intense action scenes with emotional soul searching to create an immersive story of one young man who will become a hero to his people. Fans of Tolkien looking for new tales with bold archetypes and classic worldbuilding will likely lose themselves in this fresh fantasy adventure.
