Through Blood And Dragons by RM Schultz
Genre: Epic Fantasy
BACK OF THE BOOK:
Steeped in blood. Ruled by those with dragons.
Cimeren is a world divided by a mysterious forest and the vast Lake on Fire. Suspicion brews on both sides, and the south has fallen into chaos as battles and quarrels rage between kingdoms.
In the border outpost of Nevergrace, Cyran Orendain is dealing with the loss of his brother and his lord as he strives to face the mounting challenges of a squire of the dragonguard.
But when Cyran’s guard-master is called to face the most powerful of the southern kings and bear witness to a secret stolen from the north, Cyran is dragged into a war that has been bubbling under the surface for centuries.
Dragons are not only weapons—they are engines of war. And even though Cyran is not trained in the ways of the dragonguard, he must adapt and learn to become one of them or his homeland and all of Cimeren will be destroyed.
But he was not born a champion.
He may break, and he will bleed.
REVIEW:
After reading other books by RM Schultz I expected great things with this new series of books to try and it did not disappoint. The author is amazing at building interesting characters and worlds mixed with great storytelling that keeps you turning the pages.
Throughout the book we read from the point of view of many characters, some protagonists and some antagonists and having these different perspectives throughout the growing story adds a nice twist to the storytelling. The antagonists are shown as human and they may not necessarily be fully bad.
A great read for fans of fantasy novels and if you have read previous works by the author you will not want to miss this one.
