Mageking: Book I: The Crescent Dragons

by William Russell

Zacharius had it all. Officer in the Empire Legion, leader of the famed Crescent Dragons, high born lineage and a promising future ahead of him in the Valorian Empire. That was all about to change as his life took an abrupt turn. He was about to find out that everything he thought he knew about his life was a lie. An encounter with a Demonhunter and subsequent rescue by a legendary wizard would be the end of his old life and the start of something new. Zacharius would find out an entire life hidden from him. It had been thought he was to be spared the curse of his Mageking lineage, but such was not to be. He would learn about his true heritage and attempt to reconcile this with his life. Once he manifested his powers he had instant enemies seeking him out. His only chance to survive was through the kindness and pity of one of the greatest wizards to have ever lived. He had little time and everything to learn. 

Meanwhile, the Crescent Dragons, missing their leader, were forced to survive without him. Second in command, Anders Fuzfalien, is forced into a reluctant command and struggles to keep the Crescent Dragons alive. General Juravious Kellen, the leader of the Empire Legion, has other plans for the Crescent Dragons and the Black Eagles. For some time, the General has suspected infiltration in the Empire with rumours pointing to the North. Something was brewing and when the General receives the go ahead to investigate, the Dragons and Black Eagles are sent into action. Evil is at work and it has a name. The search for that name will define the future of the Empire and uncover some old wounds from the past for everyone involved.
