M. Todd Gallowglas Book order

Elzibeth wanted nothing more than to play her grandfather's flute, but others in her village seemed to think she needed to spend less time making music and more time being about her chores. One afternoon, three lads from the village take it upon themselves to teach Elzibeth that her dreams and fancies will only least to trouble. They take her flute, and to get it back, she must seek out the dragon's cave somewhere to the north of the village. Even though the last man to wander into those wild hills seeking the dragon's cave never returned, Elzibeth cannot live without her music. None of them could have foreseen that this little prank would set events in motion that would shake their lives beyond all kenning and change the destinies of kingdoms.

It has been decades since Ezlibeth left the world of men for the world of legends. In order to keep magic from vanishing from the world of men forever, Elzibeth allows the flute to find its way to her grandson, Killian. Killian shares his grandmother's passion for music and love for life, and so he quickly learns how to use the flute as she did. However, Killian is different from Elzibeth in many ways. What magic will his songs create with the Dragon Bone Flute? Will it shape his destiny as it did Elzibeth's, or will Killian use it to forge a path all his own?
