The DragonCrown War Cycle - 1: Fortress Draconis

More about the book

In an age of treachery and peril, a young thief may be the prophesied savior or the betrayer of the world. Once a grand city, Yslin now harbors the dark heart of the Dimandowns. Will, an orphaned thief from the slums, aims to impress his master by stealing a prize from the exiled Elves. His theft entangles him in a web of prophecy and unites him with Kedyn’s Crow, a shadowy warrior, and Resolute, a Vorquelf seeking redemption for his lost island home. They see Will as the key to saving the world from Chytrine, the tyrant who seeks to become empress. However, their belief in him finds few allies in a war-torn realm where leaders view him as a mere pawn. Chytrine, recognizing Will's potential, dispatches her Dark Lancers to eliminate him, using the corrupted survivors of a failed war against her as instruments of destruction. As Will faces relentless trials, a new generation rises to challenge Chytrine. Alexia, the princess of a fallen nation, rallies an army to oppose her, while the sorcerers of Vilwan create their own hero, Kerrigan Reese, granting him extraordinary powers. Together, these heroes journey to the enigmatic Fortress Draconis to prevent Chytrine from seizing fragments of the DragonCrown, a powerful artifact that would ensure her eternal dominion.
