In the remote villages of southern Epheria, reeling from the loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving – a test of courage and skill that not all survive.

Aram Raythe thinks he’s nothing but a misfit from a small fishing village who yearns to make friends. But Aram bears within him a gift so old and rare that many people would kill him for it, and others would twist him for their own use.

Life on the storm-battered plains near Berestal is far from peaceful for Ashan, with looming Vard raids and the responsibility of caring for his injured father and brother. His dreams of becoming a dragon rider have long been buried.

When a Vard attack forces him to risk everything to save his sister, Ashan is drawn into a war he never wanted. He races alongside his best friend through hostile forests, the lands of the mysterious Djarn, and the reach of a dragon mage to stop the enemy from seizing a prize they have hunted for generations.

Once there were heroes whose deeds earned them the heart of a dragon. In their eggs, a dragon would wait 1000s of years for a warrior worthy of them.

There are those who have been waiting in the shadows while the heroes of Verda die out. They worship something ancient and evil. It falls on a few to prove themselves worthy and keep back that darkness.

Resurrecting the Arcaner path comes with consequences, however. Scandal. Malice. Treachery. And a harrowing test of character.

The northern mountain village offers protection from the threat of dragons, but is a difficult place, especially for a misfit like Jason Dreshen, whose strange silver eye grants him dragon sight.

When a stranger visits during the local Freedom Festival searching for a different kind of dragon, Jason is forced on the run from Dragon Souls.

He finds he might have more of a connection to magic than only dragon sight. But to defeat the Dragon Souls, he will have to protect what he hates above all else: dragons.

Stormfall is a dragon born with a coat the colour of a starry night. When a violent storm strikes his island aerie, he is carried on hurricane winds into the complicated and sometimes cruel world of men.

Telryn “Trip” Yert has always been a little odd, with hunches that are too accurate to explain. Magic is feared and forbidden in Iskandia, and as a boy, he was forced to watch his mother’s execution. So he hides his eccentricities, serving as an officer in the king’s army.

After 1000 years, dragons have returned to the world. A few of them are still willing to be allies to mankind, but far more want to destroy or enslave humans. There are few people left with the power to fight dragons, and Trip may be one of them.
