Covenant

When Dragons Die #2

by K. Scott Lewis

Nine years after the fall of the God-King, the gods have resumed their great game for mortal hearts and minds.


The vampire contagion has spread throughout the Nine Realms. Now, in the depths of the infected lands, a dark god forges a Covenant that will make the vampire threat more deadly than ever before.


The paladin Arda has joined the war against the vampire lands. Sent into enemy territory, she soon realizes that things are more complicated than she thought, as she herself is tempted with the Covenant’s promise of eternal life. She is joined by the sorceress Anuit, driven from her home when the might of the Covenant converts her town. The unlikely couple’s journey into infected lands rekindles the quest to find the living incarnation of the Gold Dragon, which will lead them to unlock the greatest secrets of the gods themselves.


Meanwhile, the vampire queen hunts for the druid Aradma, who has withdrawn from the world to raise her daughter. The light elf must join with the paladin and sorceress in order to cleanse the lands of the vampire contagion and prevent the Goddess of Desire from consuming the world.

About the author

K. Scott Lewis was born in California to Navy parents, and then moved all over the place such that when asked as an adult, "Where are you from?", he shrugs and says, "the U.S." He graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Computer Science and then entered the Air Force to do somewhat computer-sciencey types of things and continue the habit of moving every few years. His personal interests took him into comparative religion, philosophy, and world mythology when he wasn't reading science-fiction or fantasy for entertainment. Tolkien's appendices and maps inspired him to world-craft as a hobby, which later grew into writing as a past-time while deployed. When he's not writing, he's composing music on piano and electric guitar, which he sees as another means of evoking stories.
