Dragon Tales: Fantasy

The Realm recommends a selection of fantasy novels featuring dragons!

Dragonfall by L. R. Lam

The last male dragon. A desperate thief. A bond that will save the world . . . or shatter it.

Long ago, humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Now their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the 'gods' remember, and they do not forgive.

The Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan

War is coming, and Clay is almost certainly going to be on the losing side . . . unless he can hunt down a fabled creature whose valuable blood might just turn the tide - if it even exists. Clay has handled many things in his time (most of them illegal), but nothing as priceless as his nation's future.

The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne

As whispers of war echo across the land of Vigrio, fate follows in the footsteps of three warriors: a huntress on a dangerous quest, a noblewoman pursuing battle fame, and a thrall seeking vengeance among the mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn.

All three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under the shadow of the gods.

The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter  

The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for generations. The lucky ones are born gifted, and everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war.

Tau Tafari wants more than this, but his plans of escape are destroyed when those closest to him are brutally murdered. Following an unthinkable path, he will strive to become the greatest swordsman to ever live.

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

Ged, the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, was called Sparrowhawk in his reckless youth.

Hungry for power and knowledge, Sparrowhawk tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance.

The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams

Kitchen-boy Simon is bored, restless and fourteen years old - a dangerous combination. It seems, however, that his life has just taken a turn for the better when he's apprenticed to his castle's resident wizard. As Simon's learning to read and write under Doctor Morgenes' tutelage, forces greater than he could possible imagine are gathering: forces which will change Simon's life - and his world - forever.
