Synopsis: Where knights and dragons once marched for honor at the behest of the Good King, nothing remains but sad and broken lore about the glory of the old rule. Now, titles of nobility are only christened by the spilling of blood and the destruction of everything linked to the old ways under the Order of the Black King. Even so, some still stand who are not easily dissuaded...


In the small forest village of Ark, Kalos has lived alone with his father for as long as he can remember. After a strange encounter at the exotic Mercari Fair, which arrives only once a year, the two of them must immediately depart for the port city of Blefcynn. A mysterious collection of items is urgently required by his Father, but even Kalos may be unable to learn why.


Kalos must conquer overwhelming obstacles while rapidly evolving from the boy he thought he was to a man he never expected to become throughout his journey. Despite having received many years of combat and weapons training while under his Father's care, war, pirates and unyielding foes threaten to crush him around every corner in this first installment of the Draguntome saga.

Review: Another DNF at 24%. The book isn’t bad. It’s quite interesting story wise and I liked the fantasy elements, but there’s a LOT going on in this book and the plot is very slow. The book sets up for an epic series, but at this time I’m not in a place to be set up for that.

Verdict: It’s good, just not for me.
