Legend of the Dragon
About this audiobook
The age of gods is ending. But the age of mortals cannot begin until a reckless prince learns what it truly means to bleed.
A crown he never wanted. An empire on the brink. A darkness that cannot be fought with steel alone.
Prince Alexander of Alibus is exceptionally good at one thing: running away. Haunted by the death of his mother, he has spent his youth hiding in the rowdiest taverns of Tallinn, drowning his grief in sweet honey-mead and the hollow laughter of sycophants. He is a romantic, a dreamer, and a thoroughly reckless disappointment to his father, the great King Henry.
But playtime is officially over.
When King Henry dies of a wasting sickness, the protective light of the ancient Towers of Lumia is brutally extinguished. Daku, the ancient God of Darkness, has breached the veil, unleashing the horrific horde of Tarsus—and with them, Dragose, the world-ending Black Dragon.
Thrust onto a throne of cold iron and surrounded by a council of bickering vultures, Alexander is entirely unprepared to rule. Viewed as a coward by his allies, he realizes his high stone walls will not save him. To claim the legendary Sword of Light—a divine blade that judges a man by the purity of his heart rather than the royalty of his blood—the prince must step into the mud.
To save Alibus, Alexander must do the impossible: unite the five ancient, distrustful races. From the ash-choked forests of the Elven and the claustrophobic, rot-infested mines of the Dwarven, to the scorching, rabid deserts of the Tali and the mind-bending, crystalline illusions of the Tekken, Alexander’s long road to kingship will be forged in shared blood and absolute sacrifice.
He must conquer his own paralyzing fear, or watch the world burn in the black fire of the dragon.
Praise for Legend of the Dragon:
"An absolute masterpiece of high fantasy. Alexander's transition from an avoidant, grieving youth to a hardened, deeply responsible king is one of the most earned and emotionally satisfying arcs in modern fantasy."
Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, and classic, epic coming-of-age fantasy. Buy Legend of the Dragon today and witness the birth of a king.
