A war won, but at the cost of losing magic. Forty years later, the magic has returned, but the world has changed. A dark mage has risen who desires the subjugation of all. And there are no trained magic users left to fight him. Except one.
As a young woman, Janai was one of the few survivors of the mages who fought the last war. The others died within five years of the victory, unable to handle living in a world without magic. Now she’s old and tired, with all the aches and pains of age. The last thing she wants to do is save the world again. After all, it was a pretty miserable experience the last time.
But when the King calls for her help, she reluctantly responds because there is no one else. With the help of the King’s Guard and her three dogs, she sets off for Nuxvar and war. But the dogs are more than they seem and the King’s Guard has a traitor.
Come to Edrisia - a world of emerging magic, dragons bonded to riders, and a quest to save the world one more damn time.
This book was recommended by people who love stories about dragons. I can certainly see why! The author created a fantasy realm complete with a rich history, multiple sentient species, and well defined rules for the use of magic. So much story, wish it had been a trilogy!
