As the Order works to rebuild, Eldwin is promoted and given his first official task: investigate the disappearance of a missing child. What he assumes will be an easy assignment quickly proves more troublesome and sinister than he imagined, especially when he discovers there’s more than one child that has vanished.
A mysterious figure is behind it all, and despite the use of magic, the figure continues to evade Eldwin at every turn. To make matters worse, something in the city of Tiradale is making Sion sick.
With mounting problems, and an angry baron on his hands, Eldwin must find the children before he’s thrown into the dungeon.
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.
This series just gets better and better, as the story continues, Eldwin fulfils his dream of being a dragon guard, as the order is rebuilding its self, Eldwin is giving his first job, he must find out about the disappearance of a young child, but what he and Maren find is a whole lot bigger than that, it's even more disturbing as alot of children have gone missing, a sinister character is behind it all and continues to evade our heroes, with a Baron breathing down their necks, they must solve the case before he throws them in the dungeons, an absolute awesome series, Dragons and a Basilisk what more could you want, watching the characters develop, grow and mature as we come into the last stretch of books has been a pleasure, Andrew McDermot continues to give a solid preformence, highly recommended...😁🐉🐲⚔
As before great concept, but we still have very little we understand about the Dragon Riders as a whole. I really wished the whole Dragon Rider concept was represented in the first book. Then all these adventures would be fantastic; even with all that, it was fun. I like how this series doesn't stay to one topic; it keeps the adventure going. The author at planting seeds for the future. A lot of things came up due to the past actions of our characters—very creative fights in here and concept building to an enormous climax for the future. Great world-building... now can we expand on Osnen and the Dragon Riders!

I think this is my favorite book of the series so far.
I’m not even sure why, just something about it really got to me. Maybe because it was a bit darker than the others? I’m not sure. I just know I enjoyed this one the most so far.
Eldwin and Maren were sent on a task for Baron Giffor. His daughter is missing, and they need to find her. When they start to search, they find out that magic is being used. Something is happening to the children and a creature is involved. They will both have to be very careful and show the Baron that are capable of finishing the task. Another great book in the series.
