About the author

Richard Fierce is a fantasy author with a passion for storytelling that dates back to his childhood. He first ventured into publishing in 2007 and hasn’t looked back since. His books are filled with dragons, adventure, and the kind of epic journeys that transport readers to new worlds.

In 2000, Richard was named Poet of the Year for his poem The Darkness, and his love for literature extends beyond just writing—he co-founded the Acworth Book Festival in Georgia to help bring authors and readers together. Though he originally worked in retail, he eventually transitioned to the tech industry, balancing his career with his writing.

Richard lives in Northwest Georgia with his family and a lively mix of pets, including four dogs (huskies!). He often jokes that his house feels like a zoo, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.

His love for fantasy started in high school when he was gifted a copy of Dragons of Spring Dawning by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman—a book that sparked a lifelong love for dragons and epic quests.

Whether he’s writing about dragon riders, lost civilizations, or ancient prophecies, Richard Fierce continues to craft stories that pull readers into unforgettable adventures.

Reviews

[Debbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book leans into tension, loyalty, and the fragile balance between rider and griffons. The story follows the fallout of rising unrest within the aeries: rivalries sharpen, trust fractures, and the political undercurrents that have been simmering finally begin to boil. As new threats emerge, the riders are pushed into choices that test the limits of their bond both with their griffons and with each other. Much of the book’s momentum comes from the characters navigating shifting alliances. Secrets surface, loyalties are questioned, and the consequences of past decisions begin to close in. Fierce expands the world in meaningful ways, revealing more about the structures that govern the riders and the dangers that lurk beyond their borders. There are tense flights, moments of quiet vulnerability, and a growing sense that the freedom the riders fight for may demand a heavier price than any of them expected. What makes this installment shine is how it blends swift pacing with emotional weight. The stakes feel personal even when the conflicts widen, and the bond at the heart of the series between human and griffons remains its most compelling force. Whisper of Wings doesn’t just move the plot forward; it deepens the characters’ struggles and sets the stage for even greater upheaval to come.
