A young assassin harbors a secret as perilous as the empire's edge. Once a protégé at the secluded mountain abbey where the queen's deadliest warriors are forged, Treylen's path took an unexpected turn. His dragon, Rime, didn't mature like the others, threatening to anchor him to a life of obscurity. Destiny, however, had a different script. An urgent missive propels Treylen and Rime into a treacherous assignment: eliminate the master glyph scribe, whose enchanted weapons bolster the enemy's ranks. Their journey leads them to the Dragon’s Hide Inn, a seemingly tranquil tavern on the empire's fringe. But beneath its inviting façade, it serves as a nexus for enemy rangers and a crucible of peril. Here, Treylen must rapidly hone his skills in disguise, deception, and interrogation under the guidance of an enigmatic spymaster. As he delves deeper into enemy territory, Treylen faces a formidable adversary whose destructive ambitions threaten all Treylen holds dear. Despite his rigorous training, confronting this sorcerer might demand more than even Treylen's resolve and Rime's unfulfilled potential can provide.
Treylen never thought he’d be hunting his own people. Least of all, family. In the mines of Wetherdin, a foul plot is unfolding. Someone’s stealing dragon eggs for the Jaul, and it’s up to Treylen, Aaron, and their dragons to infiltrate and root out the traitor. This time he’s ready. His spycraft is stronger, his bond with Rime is better than ever, and his mentor has come along for the mission. Under the guise of visiting nobility, they’ll have all the comforts of a cozy mountain lodge while untangling the mystery at their leisure. But when Marziel disappears on the night of a murder, and his own family gets caught up in the intrigue, a dire deadline is set. Treylen is faced with a choice that the abbey never prepared him for. And the solution will take him deeper into the caves of the Dragon Lands than he’d ever imagined. The Shadow's Dragon continues this exciting fantasy series!
As myth and history clash, old heroes will rise again. Treylen’s last mission revealed a clue in Oara Valley. This deserted elven kingdom, now an overgrown forest and the emperor’s hunting grounds, may be home to a den of dragons. With Marziel’s rise to power Treylen is given his own team to investigate the threat. It’s his chance to get away from the war and the cruel whims of their queen. For his team it’s an opportunity to finally show off their skills at hunting and wildcraft. But there’s a second team working in the valley. Led by Egin, a spymaster for the Queen’s Shadow, they were sent to ensure the mission is carried out as commanded. After their experience in the Dragon Lands, Treylen and Rime are determined to be the first to find dragons in Oara Valley. But in their race against Egin, they stumble into more trouble than they bargained for. Old alliances will be questioned. New paths will open. And nations will change.
Dragons lurk beneath the waves. Treylen and Rime have escaped to the high seas. While his dragon naps in the cargo hold, he masquerades as a sailor. Their ship is bound for Ketaresk where he's the new Iveran Ambassador. After the last battle, Treylen and his bondmate are in no hurry to follow orders. For once there's time to enjoy the journey. But fate has other plans and the shadow of the queen is long and menacing. The crew begin to go missing and the captain reveals his own dark secret; there is danger in the next port and the ship is at risk. When a familiar face appears, and a new mission presents itself. Treylen must confront the awful truth of his kingdom's past. And decide its future.
