Arcus Draconis: The Dragon Amulet Chronicles - Book 2
ARCUS DRACONISThe Dragon Amulet Chronicles – Book Two
By J. Michael Radcliffe
The dragons are not gone.
They are waiting.
After crossing the Veil, Tadhg carries the burden no mortal was meant to bear — the scattered scales of ancient dragons, each one a fragment of power that must be returned… or lost forever.
Some dragons accept what was taken from them.
Some refuse.
And some have already begun to change.
As scales are reunited and old forces awaken, the world begins to tremble. Frost fractures stone. Storms split the sky. Fire answers fire.
Meanwhile, in the mortal world, Duana opens a forbidden grimoire — the Liber Umbrae — and learns that dark magic does not teach. It reveals.
And far from either of them, something older than dragons has begun to stir.
A shadow is summoned.
A price is paid.
And an ancient archway of flame and stone begins to take shape in the dark.
Because the Arch of Dragons was never merely legend.
It was a gateway.
And someone intends to use it.
For readers who Epic fantasy with dragons of sovereign will
Mythic worldbuilding and layered magic systems
Dark forces rising beneath ancient prophecies
Stories where power demands a cost
The Dragon Amulet Chronicles continues in a sweeping tale of responsibility, agency, and the dangerous beauty of becoming whole.

About the author
J. Michael Radcliffe
32 books30 followersAn avid reader of science fiction and fantasy novels all my life, I began writing The Guardian's Apprentice in 2002. After eight years of on-again, off-again writing, I finally published my first novel in August 2010. I live in rural Kentucky with my family and our six feline companions. When not acquiring recruits for my wife's ever growing cat army (which are terribly hard to train, by the way), I enjoy spinning stories out of the wisps of magic around me.
