The One-Eyed Dragon
The One-Eyed Dragon
A forgotten bloodline. A relic of immense power. A war only a reluctant heir can end.
Pyp Thorne wanted a simple life, not the legacy of a shattered royal house. Orphaned in a brutal raid and raised as a blacksmith's apprentice, he is haunted by a relic he unearthed as a boy. When a mysterious monk reveals the artifact is a key to a forbidden, ancient power, Pyp is thrust into a conflict that will burn the empire to the ground. Hunted by assassins, his only allies are his reckless best friend and a cunning spy whose loyalties are forever in doubt.
As Pyp flees, the brilliant healer Serenya Veyne uncovers a terrifying truth in the capital. The charismatic Lord Maeric Drel, who preaches order and rebirth, is secretly a monster obsessed with forbidden magic. His true goal is not to rule the empire, but to break it-unleashing a primordial darkness upon the world. Serenya's own blood is tied to a prophecy that names her the only one who can stop him, forcing her to flee towards the one person the legends speak of: the last heir of House Thorne.
Thrown together by fate, Pyp and Serenya must unite a band of outcasts, rebels, and disillusioned nobles to stand against the rising tide. But to defeat the unimaginable evil Maeric unleashes, they must complete a ritual known as the Binding Flame. The price of victory, however, is a sacrifice that will demand everything from them both and test the very bonds of loyalty, love, and destiny.
Perfect for fans of the gritty realism of John Gwynne, the epic quests of Robert Jordan, and the character depth of Robin Hobb, The One-Eyed Dragon is a sweeping medieval fantasy debut of shattered kingdoms, unforgettable characters, and the embers of hope that ignite in the darkest night.
