"It didn't always feel like this. How? I can't remember, but it wasn't like this. No, not like this...it was cold and dank, and then there was the fear. To stand in his presence, in awe and reverence of his power, his might, it was intoxicating...but the fear never leaves." Ekrin, High Priest of the Black Dragon A rising tide of violence is spreading across Darnisi, and it threatens to cast all of Aurion into war and chaos. A terror straight out of nightmares is at the heart of the corruption. Using the dark arts of seduction, the shadow drake bends and twists the will of those who would seek his power, to his own ends. Aurion's remaining races forge unlikely alliances in order to survive the dragon's scourge. As reality sets in, our survivors face a very grim future. Could their only hope of survival truly be found in the cryptic writings of ancient prophecy?

Dragon's Fire: Beating Back the Darkness, Book One tells an epic, mythic story of war in a world of orcs, elves, dwarves, centaurs, and humans. The story tells of a darkness moving across the land that must be opposed by all the races in unified armed might. We read of betrayal, while humans and others are seduced by the dark side. We see our heroes training and preparing for the final battle. We are introduced to several heroes and villains. The leader of evil is an all-powerful dragon that spits fire and steals the minds of weak people.
This tale reminded me of Lord of the Rings. If you're familiar with the Bible, you will be reminded of aspects of the story of the King of Kings. The strongest theme through the story was battles between the light and the dark. This story is a very entertaining one for fans of mythical combat and epic warfare. I recommend it for readers, high school and up, who want a fantastical story with dragons and war.
