The Valor of Sorcerers
Battle Mage Edward has returned. Now Edward, Wizard Noland, the Headmaster of the Franconian Wizards Academy, and Donovan have to piece together the mystery of who in the Kingdom of Franconia is protecting the dragons, and why.
Gek, the Great Dragon, and his Sea Dragon mate, Azure have just learned that Dragons can transform themselves into humans with magic. Now they must seek out other Dragon ‘Changed Ones’ and enlist their help in the coming war with the humans.
Donovan is studying hard, and making good progress at the Wizards Academy, but he is unaware that several of his classmates, and even some of his magical instructors are actually dragon ‘Changed Ones,’ intent on doing him harm.
King Henry has finally accepted that dragons are not mythical, but he suspects that the neighboring King of Baize has sent the dragons against him in an attempt to conquer Franconia. Donald, the King of Baize, is confused by Henry’s aggressive posture and has his own troubles to worry about. The dragons intend to provoke a war between the two human kingdoms, then attack when both are weakened by the struggle. This should be interesting.
"The Valor of Sorcerers" is a captivating epic filled with richly drawn characters, breathtaking battles, and an intricate plot that weaves themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the quest for redemption. Fans of fantasy will be spellbound by this tale of heroism and hope, where the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and only those who dare to face their fears will prevail.

This is the second book by Robert Jones I have read and enjoyed. His stories are clear and clever and complicated enough to maintain interest. There are some flaws that more careful editing would catch: amount instead of a mount, difference instead of deference, etc.
I would suggest that he give more insight into his characters thought processes, to engage the reader more with the people as people instead of two-dimensional characters. Almost everything is actions and dialogue. My husband tells me that is what men want, but to appeal to more readers, it would be beneficial to spend a little more time helping the readers connect with and understand the characters by showing their thoughts and emotions about what is happening in the story.
Even so, this is only the author's second novel, and he's done a great job with it.
