A long time ago, dragons once rule the lands and there was heavy demand for brave dragonslayers. However, the dragons have long died out and the need for dragonslayers died with them. Guillot dal Villevauvais was once an illustrious famous knight of the King's personal guard and now, he a drunken disgrace.


When a quest to look forgotten power awakes a dragon, Gill is called upon to help slay the dragon. He is astonished and worried when he called upon by Prince Bishop to kill the dragon He is no longer the heroic person and must call upon his past experience to help guide him.


On his way to the Capital, Gill comes across a young barmaid, Solene who is about to be burned as a witch by an angry mob. He had seen enough innocent people being punished wrongly and decides to save her. He soon discovers that Solene is a powerful mage but lacks experience and control. However, magic is considered to be forbidden but, Prince Bishop believes magic will help destroy the dragon and better the lives of the people. Together will Gill and Solene be able to defeat the dragon?



I love reading the "Lord of the Rings" novels. While this book has elements of a great fantasy novel, I felt like something was missing. felt like there was a lack of explaining the world the characters lived in. There was no story behind the different cities and villages that would have helped add to the story. I did enjoy that the novel included the perspective of both the dragon and the human characters. The novel did include a lot of gore, sword fighting, and adventure but, overall the novel wasn't for me.
