A warrior-monk is chosen for a final test, one that will propel him into a series of life-threatening situations time and time again. Along the way, the pacific martial artist develops some curious friendships with a little gnome thief you love to hate, and a stubborn old dwarf that has a way with words. At the same time, a Herculean elf is searching for his roots and for the creature that slaughtered his friends and family. His perilous quest will unknowingly unite him with a beautiful half-elven druid and a host of magical creatures that help guide him along his dangerous journey. Inevitably, these two parties unite and join forces to face a common threat – one that will unlock the past for the monk, and unlock the secrets of the giant elf’s origins.
“And so it was,” Baz concluded, “that I abandoned my people, mounted my dragon, and came to your lands.” Not even the flame of rebellion can melt the snows of the Icy Heights in winter. So, despite their resounding victory against the forces of Erstwhile, Baz and his rebels have spent the last four months holed up in Enigma City, waiting for the reprisal that is surely on its way from the rest of Oration come spring. But just as the thaw starts, the unthinkable happens. Enigma is attacked, and one who Baz holds dear is taken. Baz pursues the kidnappers, accompanied by Rox and Eromér the Book Dragon. Their chase takes them into the Karst, the mysterious wasteland beyond the eastern limits of Oration. There, Baz meets the natives and enlists their aid. The natives’ help isn’t free, though. The Ravagers, invasive barbarians who live at the borders of their territory, have a new leader, a terrifying figure known simply as the Placid Man, and Baz must agree to dispatch this villain in return for the natives' help. Sounds easy enough. After all, Baz has survived far worse and he has a dragon on his side. But the Placid Man is no ordinary foe, and when Baz learns his true identity, everything will change… "This series is right up there with Robin Hobb’s Elderling books." -Review of The Acktus Trials on the Fantasy Faction FB Group “D. T. Kane is an amazing storyteller.” -A Maze of Words
A fantasy world far like any other. A place where loyalty meets authority and power meets demand. Gems of all kinds lay about, but some are more special than others.

Will they figure out how to use the gems? And will the Kingdoms finally unite?
Their blood holds secrets... secrets that could destroy the Dragon Goddess' legacy, or save it. Masanori will do what he never thought possible: face his demons by travelling straight into the Nightmare. In a strange realm filled with dragons and spirits, he finds that some are out for his family’s blood and the secrets hidden within. War is coming. While Naoji urges Hidekazu to weaponize his dark gifts to turn the tide in their favour, Hidekazu is far more concerned with atoning for the Genshu clan’s atrocities. But what if the only way to absolve himself is to undo the Warlock Empire’s oldest crime, a violation committed by the Dragon Goddess herself? Aihi marches into their first battle with the confidence worthy of her new position as shōgun. What she doesn’t know is how deep the Goddess’ treachery runs… or how far her enemies will go to annihilate Aihi and all Seiryuu because of it. Genshu ancestry pushed Hidekazu and Masanori apart, but if they refuse to join Aihi on the battlefield, rogue magicians and legendary beasts descending from the sky will be the least of their worries. The Goddess must answer for her crimes… but the survivors can only answer in her place if they learn why the Warlock Empire fell. Jump into the world of Yumihari, a land filled with spirits, dragons, monsters, and stunning characters wielding elemental magic to save their homeland. If you love epic fight scenes, mystery and political intrigue, mythology, monsters, mayhem, and progression fantasy, you will love Blood of Dragons and the Yokai Calling series.

The first seven of Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos fantasy novels have long been in print from Ace Books in a set of three trade paperback omnibuses. Now Tor, publisher of the series from book eight on, continues the series of omnibuses with The Book of Dragon, which includes Dragon and Issola. In Dragon, Vlad finds himself in the last place any self-respecting assassin wants to be: the army. Worse, he's in the middle of an apocalyptic battle between two sorcerous armies, and everyone expects him to perform a role that they won't explain. Vlad may kill people for a living, but this is ridiculous. All he's got to rely on are his wits...and a smart-mouthed winged lizard. In Issola, Vlad's aristocratic friends Morrolan and Aliera have disappeared, and according to the eldritch (but affable) Sethra Lavode, they may be in the hands of the Jenoine—the mysterious beings who made the world of the Dragaera Empire and its surroundings, and who may have come from somewhere else. Oh, well, what's life without the occasional cosmic battle with beings who control time and space? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Leaving behind a murdered mother, angry groups of suspicious countrymen, and all her belongings, Rynna must learn to master her own doubts and fears, all the while avoiding capture by the enemy so that she can be the leader her people need.
