The action of Game of Thrones with the immersion of The Lord of the Rings.
A prince and princess battle sorcerers who plot to awake an evil dragon that would destroy the world in the first book of an epic fantasy trilogy set against a backdrop of political intrigue and strife that could explode into civil war.
The evil dragon Baras lies subdued by the magical crown of the monarchy of Carandir where people of different genders, races and beliefs live together.
Sorcerers want to steal the crown to release their master and align with traitorous nobles who plot civil war to create a misogynistic tyranny and kill or drive out all minorities.
Prince Ryckair, Prince Craya and Lady Mirjel are caught in these webs. Ryckair and Craya strive for the throne and the love of Mirjel, whose bound by law to marry the brother who becomes king. But Mirjel, who's battle trained and head strong, has chosen who she will have.
One is cast into the wilderness and searches for a magical talisman to confront the sorcerers and nobles. One stays behind and fights a resistance movement against them. One is seduced by the sorcerers.
A tale filled with magic, dragons, wizards, sorcerers, fantastic beasts, battles and political intrigue in an immersive world of lost legends, forgotten lands, cultures, languages and music.
Readers who enjoy highly dramatic epic fantasies will appreciate this blend of political intrigue, star-crossed romance, large-scale battles, and a hint of magic. Great for fans of Janny Wurts and Raymond E. Feist's Empire Trilogy, and Seth Dickinson's The Traitor Baru Cormorant. - Publishers Weekly
The author has created a complex story line nestled against stunning worldbuilding. The plot is rich and meandering, but laser-focused on the details for discerning readers. Dragons Unremembered is a foreign and complex world, and the author is able to recount its history and culture through narration and dialogue, rather than long, descriptive passages-a potent way to set up the story while still engaging readers. The book hums with diverse characters and a vibrant, multilayered setting, and the creative storytelling flawlessly immerses readers in the plot. Readers will glean insight into the main players through their words and actions, and the large, varied cast is most effective when reacting naturally to the tense moments in the story. 9.75 out of 10. ― Booklife Prize
