Not yet published
Expected 15 Dec 26The past is waking. And the flames are rising.
After being torn apart, Sereh and Erann are finally reunited. Yet there is little time to celebrate. Questions still surround Erann’s disappearance, but the prophecies refuse to give up their meaning.
Then Emma disappears.
Lost somewhere in Biklander’s past, Emma witnesses events long a dangerous sea crossing, a devastating eruption, and the secrets carried by those who first made the island their home. What she discovers could change everything Sereh and Erann thought they knew about Biklander — and about the dragons. And a strange green jewels may hold answers no one is prepared for.
But while Erann struggles to uncover what happened, Sereh faces a danger of her own.
If they are to survive, they must rely on those around them — human and dragon alike — as the past reaches into the present and the truth behind the prophecies draws closer.
Because some secrets have been buried for centuries. And uncovering them will have consequences for them all.

About the author
M.J. Porter
129 books274 followersI'm an author of historical fiction (Early English/Saxon, Vikings and the British Isles as a whole before the Norman Conquest, as well as five 20th-century historical mysteries) and historical romantasy.
I was born in the old Mercian kingdom at some point since 1066. Raised in the shadow of a strange little building, told from a very young age that it housed the bones of long-dead kings of Mercia and that our garden was littered with old pieces of pottery from a long-ago battle, it's little wonder that my curiosity in Early England ran riot. I can only blame my parents!
I like to write. You've been warned!
Not sure where to start your journey through Saxon/Early England? The Dark Ages trilogy will take readers back to the very beginnings of Saxon England before the creation of Mercia and the other kingdoms. The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles featuring our reluctant hero, Icel, will introduce you to the best Saxon kingdom of all, Mercia! Storm of Mercia is the latest release.
Looking for my historical fantasy/romantasy? Dragonbound, the first book in the Ice and Fire series, will be available from September 2026.
Looking for my 20th-century mysteries? The Erdington Mysteries and Cragside, a standalone 1930s murder mystery, are the titles for you.
My first non-fiction book, The Royal Women Who Made England, is now published by Pen and Sword in hardback and ebook.
Happy reading:)

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
DRAGONS, ANCIENT SECRETS AND PROPHECIES! I WAS HOOKED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!
I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment. The story pulled me in straight away, and I loved how the mystery surrounding Erann’s disappearance, Emma’s journey into Biklander’s past and the secrets surrounding the dragons kept everything moving. There was plenty to discover, but I found the plot easy to follow and loved how all the different elements came together. The characters were another highlight, and I really enjoyed being back in this world. The blend of fantasy, mystery and dragon lore made this such an entertaining read, and I found myself wanting to keep turning the pages to discover what happened next. A fantastic addition to the series, and I am already looking forward to reading more from this author!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.
