The shining city of Cimerenden has reigned over the continent for thousands of years. But one man envisions a future where the dragon is tamed and used for war.

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023
This prequel is a shorter work, but it still packs a punch with drama, action, and character development presented with an expert hand. It perfectly sets the stage for book one of what looks to be an unforgettable saga.

The author mentioned it’s a story he’s been waiting his whole life to tell, and it certainly shows. The skill on display, as so often happens with truly exceptional books, tends to melt into the background as the compulsion to keep reading takes center stage. Wonderful stuff!

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2023
When I first saw how HUGE the book was I admit I was a little hesitant to expend the amount of time to peruse this Authors book ,Heck I never even heard of him. WOW once I started I was entranced,I couldn't put it down ,The World Building and character development were phenomenal. I am an Honest ARC reviewer that only on rare occasion put a 5 star rating out , This book had No editing mishaps that I could see ,The plot / story line were spot on with very little lag times. Awaiting book #2 Hope it maintains this excellence.

This is a prequel which gave a wonderful taste of the series. I can't wait for my copy of Through Blood and Dragons. It had me on the edge of my seat and I read it in one sitting. It's exciting and filled with Dragons. Thanks for another great story!
