The Dragonstone
When a wicked Sultan curses the land of Cardevin to sink below the waves in 30 days time, the king must rely on his wizard, Feo, to break the spell. The only problem is that Feo has never cast a spell in his life! In this epic fantasy adventure, Feo sets off to a distant land to find rare ingredients for the ritual that will save his home land, but the main component is a rare stone that can only be found inside a vicious dragon!
Will Feo return to save Cardevin, and if he does, will he be the same person he was when he left?

The Dragonstone starts with a curse by the Saltan of The East to make the peaceful land of Cardevin sink below the waves in around 30 days.
Feo - The hereditary wizard is tasked with overturning the curse, but he needs a Dragonstone as one of the main ingredients of the ritual, and for that, a dragon must be slain.
It becomes apparent very quickly that this is a countdown type story. The clock is ticking, and there's nothing more frustrating than bureaucratic nonsense when there's a deadline to meet. Sadly, Feo and the swordsman, Horsa, battle more than fire-breathing beasts, but they also have to fight their way through forms and paperwork.
The magic has defined rules and feels very real, and everything that happens has a good degree of logic attached to it, but as Lynn McInroy is an engineer, I would expect nothing less.

The Dragonstone is an excellent read. Once started, I couldn't put it down. I think we should look out for more books by Lynn McInroy.
