Lore of Arcana #4
The Dragon Circle
Valarians prepare for winter. Many died in summer, more will succumb to the cold. Only the heat of hope sustains them now.
While waiting for the opportune time to strike, Margus secretly begins a different kind of campaign: soul snatching. He refuses to bow from the arena; having lost his army, he now rebuilds it with the souls of Valaris, a people despairing after losing everything in the violence of summer’s confrontations. These are the souls of loved ones … how will the survivors find the means to fight them? How to lift a weapon against someone you once knew?
Waiting for Margus to reveal his game plan, Torrullin steps blindly into Vannis’ final prophecy. It brings him a great gift; it also leads to terrible betrayal. In the aftermath there is a change in leadership, a change in the Valla Dragon’s place of residence, and Saska abandons Torrullin, leaving him cold and in need of diversion.
Belun of the Centuar is suspicious of the strange vanishings and his suspicion drives Torrullin offworld to find a ward against soul snatching. He enters the forges of flame and betrayal in search of the means to put an end to Margus’ reign of terror. The man who emerges is reformed of fire to unleash annihilating heat.
Uninvited, Torrullin enters the Dome of his Guardian father Taranis, employing a darkened doorway most Guardians believed inoperative due to an ancient prophecy … to become the harbinger of final days…
The Dragon Circle completes the forging of Torrullin Valla. The ambivalent Rayne’s tale began in the shades and shadows of a prejudiced world and moved into flame and fire, and now a new future unveils…

About the author
Elaina J. Davidson
144 books76 followersElaina lives in magical Ireland after leaving the surrounds of magnificent Table Mountain at the southern tip of Africa. Having lived in both Ireland and New Zealand, she now realises Ireland’s mists are close to perfection. When writing she puts into words her travels and dreams, because she believes there is inspiration in even the most outrageous tale.
After studying Purchasing Management and working in the formal sector as a buyer, she chose to raise and home-school her three children. She started writing novels around 2002, moving from children’s stories, poetry and short stories to concentrate on larger works.
While her main body of work has been her Fantasy Series (Lore of Arcana, Lore of Reaume and Lore of Sanctum), she is a diverse writer and her credits include novels and shorter stories in the Contemporary, Humorous, Paranormal, Dystopian, Alternate History and Romantic genres, as well as Non-fiction. Many of her books have been translated into Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Greek and French. Her audiobook library is growing too.
Ireland’s ancient past has influenced her writing, gifting her work a Celtic twist, while the majesty of New Zealand has led her to mountaintops and extraordinary vistas. The vibrancy of Africa has had much to do with the inspirational side of Elaina’s work. The colours and diversity of nature itself fires her imagination.
Come with her to places familiar and far, far away!

This last book in the "Lore Of Arcana" Series was quite a spectacular tale. We get to see the final battle between Torrullin and Margus. Also other relationships are tied up nicely.When I say I loved this series it really is quite an understatement. I purposely read this book slower than molasses because I knew once that last page was read I would feel desolate.But finally I could hold off no longer and proceeded to finish what I started a year ago with the beginning of this series. As usual Elaina J Davidson delivers an outstanding adventure that grabs you and doesn't let go. Her books are such a decadent treat that you simply can never get enough. Now I will wait patiently for whatever she comes up with next because I know it will be beyond fantastic.
