Valor K. Forge is the author of Wings of the Forgotten, the first book in The Hearthstone Saga.

A combat veteran turned fantasy writer, Forge writes young adult dragon rider fantasy centered on endurance, loyalty, and the strength required to remain when everything fractures.

His stories explore the quiet kind of courage found in overlooked heroes and the bonds forged between riders and dragons in a world where power is never free.

He lives in Oklahoma with his family and continues building the world of the Hearthstone Saga.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, but probably for different reasons than many readers.

I'll be honest—I struggled with the first book. The names, clans, and worldbuilding took me time to sort out, and there were moments when I wasn't sure the series was for me.

I'm glad I kept going.
