Thorar, a dwarven mercenary out for gold and glory, joins his mentor on a secret mission to kill the last of the ancient dragons. But the fact that he's the high ranking officer's protégé only makes those initiated into the elite dwarven army despise him more than the rest of the hired swords.
Urim, a trusted advisor to the mission's Commander brought his friend for the journey as a final test before he can join the Brotherhood Without Glory. But unlike some of his Brothers he's worried more about the backstabbing politics within the Order than old dragon myths blown out of proportion.
Their destination - a tiny island where three oceans meet. Their goal - simple. Destroy the dragon cult that dwells there and if need be their false god. But in a world were any skill can be elevated to the level of magic and Tempest threatens to turn the tide at a moment's notice nothing is ever really "simple."

*Work in Progress - Second Edition*
As I've improved my craft since the original story was published I've decided to complete a rewrite before I finish Feral (part II). Distractions abounding I'll post the WIP of the second edition here, until the re-write is done.

Drekablóð Rising:Fire(Book 1)
The war that started it all. Five hundred years ago a war erupted in Elementa when humans started hunting a revered race called the Drekablóð; half humanoid, half dragon. The humans saw them as abominations for their differences; fear of a race more powerful than another makes others do rash and deadly things. After the humans slaughtered a whole settlement of Drekablóð, the magical creatures of Elementa rose up in defense of the Drekablóð. The humans likewise called on their dwarf and elf allies. Thus Bellum ex Quod Draco ipsos Troiugenas began. For ten long, bloody years the races fought hard for the future of the Drekablóð. One wanting to exterminate them like pest. The other wanting them to survive and flourish. In the end, the humans won, but their victory cost them and the rest of Elementa dearly. The alicorns and dwarves disappeared. The wyverns and elves were practically extinct. Dragons were a rare sight. Only the humans survived to tell the tale of how they wiped out the evil monsters that tried to take their lands. Elementa, originally a lush and beautiful land, was now split into four different climates, equally harsh in their own way. But the humans prevailed in cultivating Elementa and chasing away any remaining magical creatures into her far corners. With the resistance of magical creatures no longer in their way, the humans continued their 'sport' of hunting the Drekablóð into extinction. Half a millennium later, the seeress Carmentha foresaw the return of the Drekablóð, and restoring Elementa to her prime and defeating the wicked and harsh rulership of Elementa. These four children have been destined to save Elementa before they were ever born. Can they overcome their difficulties and save Elementa? Or will they fail and allow Elementa to fall into darkness forever? There will be some minimum swearing and minimum acts of violence. I would rate this book for 14 and up.Complete
