In a world where dragons are dismissed as grandmothers' fables, their roars are about to shake the foundations of empires. The High King's scrolls claim they never existed, yet in secret valleys and hidden caves, the embers of their legends glow, waiting for a spark. Their unique biology, a curse disguised as a gift, meant that upon death, their bodies were consumed by an intense, magical fire, leaving no fossils or bones to be found-only stories.
From the author of The Dragon's Tails, John Sneyd, comes an epic fantasy charting the return of magic to a world that has forgotten it.
In the green hills of Ireland, a clan leader named Liam makes a forbidden discovery: two dragon eggs, one of burnished bronze and the other a deep, forest-green. His children, Zoe and Robert, become the guardians of a secret that could shatter the High King's tyrannical rule. Hunted by the ruthless Commander Gareth, the siblings must protect their hatchling dragons-the fierce, golden-eyed Aerion and the cunning, shadow-wary Morrigan-and become the heart of a desperate rebellion.
Across the storm-tossed seas in Iceland, a land forged in fire and ice, Björn, the son of a warlike Goði, yearns for peace in a culture steeped in endless blood feuds. While his father plots battles, Björn seeks the quiet counsel of a being of immense and ancient power: the colossal Sea-wing dragon, Jörmungandr, whose wisdom may be the only thing that can steer his people away from self-destruction.
And in the gilded cage of Heian-era Japan, Akemi, the graceful daughter of a respected samurai, lives a double life. Secretly trained by her father in the art of war, she struggles against the rigid traditions that would see her married off for political advantage. Her spirit finds its match in Ryūjin, an ethereal, serpentine water dragon, and together they must rise to defend their home from an impending invasion, challenging the very fabric of their society.
Days of Dragons weaves together the fates of these unlikely heroes from across the globe. It is a saga of rebellion, diplomacy, and honor, where young warriors must forge unbreakable bonds with legendary creatures to reshape their worlds. They will fight for freedom on the fields of Tara, navigate the treacherous currents of Viking politics, and command imperial fleets under the banner of the ryū.
This is a tale of how dragons returned to the world, and why they vanished again, leaving only their tails-their stories-behind. Are you ready to listen for their roar?
