** WINNER OF THE 2020 OZMA AWARD FOR HEROIC FANTASY ** Zendragon"An engaging mix of fantasy, spiritual discourse, and B-movie action." KIRKUS REVIEW for ZendragonThe Dragonsoul Cycle fuses high-adrenalin superhero style like Batman Begins or Star Wars with eastern mysticism and old school Tolkienesque fantasy iconography. The story is propulsively paced, with morally complex drama like Game of Thrones, but remains idealistic amidst the sorrow and darkness. The assassin Kazen has become the Overlord of Hadeon, the Demonshogun. Arashi travels to Shidokan, and musters an army to face Kazen. They square off, but Arashi is betrayed. The heroes must seek the Ring of Angelon, a sacred artefact capable of resisting Kazens infernal power, and use it to oppose the Demonshogun. Winteru struggles to prove his love to Althea, and win her heart from the King. Meanwhile a dark and hungry demon rises from the shadows, seeking to defeat Kazen and win control of the realms. The heroes must defeat both enemies, but Winteru has never been able to defeat Kazen in single combat. How can the heroes hope to prevail over the Demonshoguns overpowering might and save the realm from tyranny? Winteru has made so many costly mistakes, is he doomed to fail?
