Drodan's
father is killed by Illdred, the High Wizard of Zale, before Illdred
could extract the information he needed. Now he is after Drodan, who is
also a scribe, like his father was. Drodan's best friend and theif,
Trelar, escape Illdreds clutches, but are trapped in the city.
They are
helped to escape by the King's wife, Queen Natia, who has her own
purpose for the young scribe. Natia requires Drodan's skills in
interpreting the Code of the Zarians, an ancient book. Before fleeing
the city, they rescue Lyka, a humanoid that can turn into a mighty,
fighting lizard, from the King, who has just purchased her from the
slave auction. As they travel, Drodan and Trelar begin to suspect that
the Queen has ulterior motives and do not trust her.
On their journey,
they rescue a fallen warrior, Xur. After he has healed, he travels with
them, teaching Droden and Trelar how to fight. He has been paid to
return a wealthy man's daughter who has run off with her lover.
Meanwhile, the runaway, Vestia, and her lover, Dalian, head toward the
wizard's keep in hope of some magic they can use to prevent her
marriage to Illdred.
Deep in a mountain a dragon slumbers, watching
all of this unfold, knowing that all is going as he planned.
Reign
of the Dragon

of yet, unnamed trilogy. This book is published by AmErica House, a
self-publishing company for new authors.
