Dragon-Eyed Void
(2024)(The fifth book in the Annals of the Dragon Dreamer series)
A novel by L Darby Gibbs
In the heart of Rigaria, where ancient sentient forests hold the secrets of the land, a dire crisis unfolds: the dragons of the Void teeter on the brink of extinction, and salvation demands a monumental effort from each individual set on a separate impossible task.
Every proposed solution carries a deadly consequence:
Every proposed solution carries a deadly consequence:
- If a single dragon is removed from the Void, it sets in motion a catastrophic cascade, leading to the Void's total collapse.
Removing all dragons from the Void would condemn them to perish in the resource-starved lands of Rigaria.
Desperation mounts as it becomes clear that the number of melders is far from sufficient to bridge the gap.
Amidst this turmoil, a group of exceptional melders—Zyla, Seguin, Madras, Thaddeus, and Afley—must unite to confront their destiny. The weight of their mission rests on their shoulders as they strive to defy the inescapable fate looming over the dragons.
But the challenges do not end there. A rogue faction of casters, wielding their element-enhanced spells, threatens the very essence of the Lynkyn forests and seeks to enslave the melders. With relentless determination, they pursue our heroes, leaving no sanctuary untouched.
In this relentless race against time, where magic alone cannot assure victory, bonds of friendship will be tested to their limits. To tip the scales in their favor, an unexpected ally from the opposing side must emerge—a ray of hope that seems as elusive as it is vital.
As the destiny of dragons and melders hangs in the balance, one thing is clear: the arrival of a solitary melder mercenary in the Void is but a glimmer of hope, yet it may be the spark needed to ignite the flames of change.
Will they defy destiny and overcome insurmountable odds, or will they succumb to the grim fate that threatens to snuff out the last embers of the dragons' existence?
