War Dragons: All Things Burn

by Brian Oliu, Dan Martin (Illustrator), Michael Rudin (Editor)

An Ancient island resurrected. A once proud and peaceful nation thrown into darkness and chaos. A world where communicating with dragons is punishable by death. All caused by one man.

The children call him Uncle Gustav. Once an orphan from the salt lands, Gustav awoke the Ancient dragons and conquered Atlaua. All those that oppose Gustav are quickly extinguished at the hands of his Blackblood Army, all crafted in his brutal image.

“War Dragons: All Things Burn” documents Gustav’s rise to power through his own eyes, as well as through the viewpoint of Ash, a commander in Gustav's Blackblood Army who after years of doing Gustav's bidding, is orchestrating a revolution to take back her homeland.

This is dark

It's loosely based off of a real time strategy Game called War Dragons but this story is all dark fantasy and all from the author . I loved it!
