The Last Dragonlord
For a thousand years, dragons have been nothing more than legends. The kingdoms of Eldoria, Veyr, Caldris, and Thorn have spent generations fighting over land, power, and ancient grudges. Their kings have forgotten the old stories of the Dragonlords-the legendary rulers who once rode dragons and united the world beneath a single banner. But the dragons have not forgotten. When nineteen-year-old stable boy Kael Arden discovers a wounded black dragon dying beneath the ruins of an abandoned fortress, he expects to find a monster. Instead, the dragon speaks his name. And when Kael touches its scales, an ancient mark awakens on his hand-a symbol belonging to a bloodline believed to have been extinct for a thousand years. Kael is the last Dragonlord. According to an ancient prophecy, the last heir will either unite the four kingdoms and restore the age of dragons-or unleash a war that will burn the entire world. But Kael wants no crown. He doesn't know how to command armies. He has never held a sword in battle. And the kings of the four kingdoms would rather kill him than allow the bloodline of the Dragonlords to return. As an ancient enemy rises from beyond the northern mountains, Kael must learn to ride the greatest dragon ever born, uncover the truth behind his family's disappearance, and convince four kingdoms that have hated each other for centuries to stand together. Because the war is coming. And this time, the enemy isn't fighting for a kingdom. It is fighting for the world.
