Fourteen-year-old Marcus believes he has it bad, getting beaten by his older half-brother and stepmother, until his blood activates his dead mother's amulet.
Raised as a winemaker’s son, Marcus doesn’t know he’s the last heir to the Dragon throne. Blooding the amulet awakens the magic of his linage, allowing him to communicate with trees and animals, but it also alerts the dark forces that an heir exists. The usurping Dark Lord sends his wind weaver to release the drakyn—undead dragons—to hunt and kill Marcus.
Family and loved ones are lost when the drakyn burn Marcus’ vineyard home, but warned by the trees, he escapes with a ragtag band survivors. The fire-breathing monsters, joined now by an army of sea-going raiders, pursue him, taking captives, burning and pillaging every place he tries to hide.
Hiding who he is by dressing as a girl, Marcus helps a couple of teenagers and a dragon, search for their lost parents in the aftermath of the drakyn attacks. He makes friends and even finds love along the way, but betrayal lands the teens in an underground trap. The entrance tunnel collapses on Marcus while the rest of his team is captured and sent to the wind weaver’s torturous prison.
For most of his life Marcus has run away from his problems. Faced with the inevitable torture of the girl he loves, he must somehow dredge up enough courage to rescue her. However, he’s still buried under a ton of rock, so he'll have to find a way to save himself first.
"Rise of the Drakyn is a new voice in the fantasy field. A blend of horror, dark fantasy, and heroics. Here is a story that challenges the genre while expanding it in new directions."
--James Rollins, best selling author of Devil Colony and Bloodline
"Vampire dragons, baby-killers, blood, gore, massive destruction, and a cross-dressing hero! This book's got it all!"
--Morgan Blayde
