Perfect for you if...

You love underdog stories where a nobody becomes essential to saving everyone. You want magic systems that follow clear rules and escalate through effort, not just luck. You're after long, absorbing series you can sink into for months.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone books or completed series. You want romance as a central plot thread rather than a secondary element. You're looking for experimental or literary fantasy rather than straightforward epic storytelling.

About this book

Holt Cook works as a kitchen servant for the Order Hall of the Crag, never expecting to become a dragon rider. When he learns that dragons kill their young if they perceive weakness, he rescues a blind dragon egg destined for death and commits to protecting the hatchling inside. As the Scourge rises and undead hordes spread blight across the land, dragon riders are being killed and betrayal emerges from within. Holt must learn to harness the mysterious magical power of his dragon's core—a unique energy that could shift the outcome of coming battles and demonstrate that someone of humble origins can prove worthy.
