The First Dawn: The Broken Empire

By Leonard LeDoux Jr

For a thousand years, the Watch stood between civilization and the darkness beyond the Ancient Gate.

Now the Gate stands open.

Dragon Keep has fallen.

The Last Watch has been broken.

Yet the Oath endures.

With Eldoria scarred by war and the First Enemy gathering its full strength beneath the shadow of Black Mountain, Dragon Master Kael and Stormclaw lead the surviving Dragon Riders on one final campaign into the ancient realm beyond the Gate-a land erased from history, where ruined empires, forgotten cities, and impossible secrets lie buried beneath centuries of darkness.

There, the Riders will uncover the true origins of the First Enemy, the purpose of the Ancient Gate, and the final journal of Aldren Wyrmwood-the legendary First Rider whose greatest sacrifice has remained hidden for a thousand years.

But some truths demand a terrible price.

As the Last War reaches its climax, old alliances will be tested, ancient legends will come alive, and dragons and Riders alike will face choices that will determine not only who survives, but what kind of world will rise from the ashes.

Beyond the Gate lies the beginning of all things...

...and the end of everything they have sworn to protect.

Epic in scope, rich in mythology, and filled with unforgettable battles, The First Dawn is the breathtaking conclusion to The Wyrmwood Chronicles-a sweeping tale of honor, sacrifice, and hope, where the greatest fortress was never built of stone, and the strongest bond was never forged by command, but by trust freely given.

Fortresses Fall. Oaths Endure. The First Dawn Begins.
