Within the Drift

Rate this book
His dragon is gone. His power, fractured. But the world still needs the Nightshade.

Callen once wielded the raw power of a dragon, a connection that saved his people—but cost him everything. Now, haunted by echoes of what he lost, he struggles to rekindle the bond that made him more than human.

But the world won’t wait.

A mysterious Pyrin delegation arrives with whispers of rising rebellion, ancient dragon fragments, and a past Callen thought buried. Among them is Nessa—an ally from a life he tried to forget, carrying secrets that could restore his power… or doom them all.

As the Lord Regent’s forces close in and long-lost magic stirs beneath the mountains, Callen must reclaim the dangerous legacy of the Dragon Singer, or watch the world burn from the shadows.

Perfect for fans of Brent Weeks, Robin Hobb, and Michael J. Sullivan, Within the Drift delivers epic fantasy with heart, political tension, and a hero caught between who he was and who he must become.

Gripping

Good characters development, screaming plots, great action, good capture human emotions. Holds true to the family as normative, and it's defense as primary.
