The Dragonkin Trilogy

The Dragonkin Trilogy Box Set Wytchfire: In the dragon-haunted land of Ruun, Rowen Locke has been many things: orphan, gravedigger, mercenary. All he ever wanted was to become a Knight of Crane and wield a kingsteel sword against horrors he's known since childhood. But that dream crumbled—replaced by a new nightmare. War is overrunning the realms, and in a world where no one is blameless, the time has come for one disgraced man to decide which side he’s on. Knightswrath: Rowen Locke has achieved his dream of becoming a Knight of the Crane, and he now bears Knightswrath, the legendary sword of Fâyu Jinn. But the land remains torn, and though Rowen suffers doubts, he would see it healed. His knightly order is not what it seems, though, and allies remain thin. When Rowen and his friends seek an alliance with the forest-dwelling Sylvs, a tangle of events results in a midnight duel that teaches Rowen a dangerous lesson and leaves him with a new companion of uncertain loyalties. The sadistic Dhargots still threaten the kingdoms, but another menace lurks in the shadows, playing a game none can see. As Rowen struggles to prove his worth—to his allies and to himself—chaos raises its hand to strike. A price must be paid, and not even the wielder of Knightswrath will remain untouched. Kingsteel: Rowen Locke has won the battle. But from the shadows comes an ancient enemy--a calculating and merciless foe who has been waiting centuries for the chance to strike. Despite all he has already suffered and sacrificed, Rowen finds himself mired in a war bigger and more terrible than anything he could have imagined. The world’s only hope lies in Knightswrath, whose hard-won powers he has only begun to understand, let alone control. Calling upon unlikely new allies, Rowen must raise an army to defeat the vengeful Dragonkin before everything he loves becomes a smoldering ruin.

“Personable characters and superb storytelling make this an excellent choice. . . . Essential for Pern fans of all ages.”—Library Journal (starred review) The son of a miner, Kindan has no expectations for any other life. He loves his lessons with the camp’s harper, but music isn’t part of a miner’s future. He also enjoys helping out with the camp’s watch-wher— a creature distantly related to dragons and uniquely suited to work in dark, cold spaces—but even that important job can’t promise a future above the ground. Then disaster strikes. In one terrible instant, Kindan loses his family and the camp loses its watch-wher. It will take a new friendship and a new responsibility to teach Kindan that even a seemingly impossible dream is never out of reach . . . and that light can be found in the deepest darkness. “A guaranteed pleaser [in] one of SF’s most splendid and longest-lived sagas.”—Booklist “Another delightful entry in the Pern series.”—Publishers Weekly

Concluding the fantasy trilogy by Nebula Award nominee Robin Bailey! For three hundred years the Dragons and all the Dragonkin have taken refuge from the world of Men. Now the winds of change are shivering across the forest. There can be no more hiding and no more retreat. The dangers have never been greater, the peril never more dire. The fates of well-loved creatures hang in the balance, and when the fires and ashes settle, the world called Undersky will never be the same. The three talismans containing the last drops of magic left in the world have been found and reunited in Wyvernwood. From the Haunted Lands in the west, Chan has returned with the Glass Dragon. From the bowels of Redclaw on the northern border of Wyvernwood, itself, Luna has returned with the Heart of all Dragons. Most surprising and troubling of all, the Dragon Ronaldo has returned from the ravaged island of Thursis in the East with the Diamond Dragon. Now revealed as the true first-born son of Stormfire, Ronaldo incurs the jealous wrath of Harrow, the eldest-by-minutes of the triplets. Hot-tempered Harrow feels cheated of his destiny and his heritage. He, not Ronaldo, should have found the talisman. How can he ever hope to be chosen as the Dragonkin's next leader? But the citizens of Wyvernwood have more immediate problems. Degarm has poisoned the Blackwater River, which is the main artery of the forest. Worse, the king of Angmar, enraged by the death of his own son at Thursis, has sent his army across the border in an all-out attack with one supreme order--burn the forest! Nor are these the only threats. The end of Wyvernwood seems certain. Praise for Dragonkin Book One "Sharp, witty writing... Plenty of action and extremely lyrical text... This novel is recommended for school and public libraries with fantasy collections."--Voya
