Book One of the Dragon's Peace
The dragons are restless. The truce is breaking. And Bertram Lorne is caught in the middle.
Orphaned and alone, Bert never expected much from life, until a chance discovery of a forgotten manuscript reveals an ancient language that dragons understand. When a reclusive inventor named Eldritch takes him in, Bert begins to uncover a dangerous truth: the peace between humans and dragons is failing and war is coming to Wyrmgate.
But enemies already circle. Garrick Crowe, the ruthless new ruler of Wyrmgate, will use any means, including treachery, armies, and even dragons themselves, to tighten his grip on the realm. With rebellion brewing and secrets buried deep in the past, Bert finds himself at the center of a struggle that could burn kingdoms to ash.
Not all seek bloodshed. If Bert can master the lost tongue, he might hold the key to restoring the peace. With the fate of both man and dragon at stake, he must decide where his loyalties lie before fire consumes everything he loves.
