Follow
Darek of the Red Claw Clan through this three book box set, a young
sailor crossing blades with ruthless pirates and warring clans. As
his hidden powers grow, first in his natural ability to commune with
sea dragons, so too does his uncanny dragon-riding skill and sudden
bursts of psi power.
Yet
a foul wind blows across the serpent deeps, bringing with it a former
apprentice, Cyrus, a forsaken sorcerer who wields terror and death.
The Dragonclaw Islands are thrust into the brink of war as Darek
struggles to find his path, unlock his skills, though alienated from
his sister and parents. Is he destined to become the Mage Reborn?
Ever more does he realize he must stop the tides of war, bring order
to clan and family while the rising menace of Cyrus lurks
unseen.
Taken
under the wing of the ailing Dragon Mage Agrippa, Darek uses his
powers to unite the Dragon Riders against the growing swarm of sea
serpents controlled by Cyrus’s forbidden magic. The fires of
rebellion, stoked by a Pirate Queen, plunge the Islanders into an
all-out war among dragons, sea serpents, and monsters of the deep.
But are Darek’s powers enough to combat these foes, especially when
he is linked to the pirates by blood bond and their beautiful
queen?
Dive
into this world of adventure, imagination, and danger that fans of
Dragonriders of Pern, Eragon, Dragonlance, Dragon Blood, Dragonvein,
Temeraire, and Dragon School will love.

Livis
stared with cool resentment at her father as he slammed his looking
glass shut, cracking the lens in the process. Captain Serle gave a
blustery sigh as he rubbed his square jaw, peering out through black,
slitted eyes from the foredeck of The Singing Gull. “I’m
done arguing with you, Livis. You’ve come a long way, but you’re
not ready to raid a Black Claw ship.” “I’m
ready, Father!” One look back at the crew under her command made
her regret the choice of words. “I thought you said it was an easy
target.” Her
bear of a father grumbled. “There’s treachery about, Liv, I can
feel it. That clipper out there is a trading vessel to be sure, but
seizing cargo from the Black Claws is never easy. Just pray the
report we received is true and they have no dragon riders aboard.” “Don’t
underestimate the power of our sea dragons,” Livis replied. She
stroked her curly russet-dark hair trailing down her back, her heart
beating with fierce emotion. Captain
Serle glanced over the railing at the mounted creatures swimming
below. They circled the rowboat her father had used to cross over
from his own ship. The silver-green pair, sisters, sported shimmering
petal-shaped scales on their muscular torsos with sharp fangs
protruding from long snouts. Black claws descended from lizard-like
feet. Fierce hunters they were, deadlier than any shark. The pirates
who rode them were either very brave, or insane.
“When
that clipper turns in to the reef, my ship and dragons will attack.”
He glared at her. “Stay out of range until they surrender.” He
turned and stared down the rest of her crew who stood fingering their
weapons aboard the one-masted schooner. “Don’t engage. If
anything goes wrong, you’re to sail straight back to Pirate Cove.
Do you understand?” “Aye,
Captain.” Livis gave a sloppy salute. She turned away and brooded
as her father returned to his rowboat. She gave instructions to her
crew to be on the ready for an attack while she moved about the
decks, checking the harpoons and cannons for smooth operation. “But
mistress,” Skarlee, the quartermaster, protested, “your father
expressly forbade us to—” Livis
shrugged. “He also said a good captain should never be caught
unprepared.” Serle
boarded his much larger flagship, The Longrunner. Within
moments, the barbaric schooner with its garland of skulls latched to
her gunwales was moving into position to attack as she and her crew
looked on. Livis
reflected on the past year spent studying her father’s trade. The
other pirate schooners were on the prowl, chasing down other quarry
leagues away. It was just her ship and his…and it gave her a
peculiar thrill. Neither had expected to stumble across a lone Black
Claw cargo ship. She was at last on a raid with the infamous Captain
Serle, only to be left out of the action. The
prey, the three-masted clipper, approached the reef, her white flag
and three black streaks clearly visible. As they entered the narrow
channel, Captain Serle’s ship rounded a small island on an
intercept course. Serle’s
cannons roared to life, sending a warning shot across the clipper’s
bow. The two dragons shot through the water, moving to flank the
ship. The Black Claw vessel had little room to maneuver. This should
be where the enemy captain saw reason and surrendered—only he
didn’t. The clipper turned just enough to fire broadside at Serle’s
ship, their guns loaded in anticipation of an attack. “No!”
Livis yelled as the cannonballs ripped through the deck and sails
of The
Longrunner.
“In order to be happy you must create something meaningful in this world and not just be a consumer of life. It is also important to share your love freely with friends and family. I believe in confronting your fears and experiencing new things, places, and people. Lastly, everyone needs something to believe in whether it be religion, a cause, or even themselves.” – Brian S.
