Aric’s job is simple; assist the elves as they moved dragon eggs across the kingdom.
When an orc raid leaves a dragon in peril and her egg vulnerable, the responsibility falls into Aric’s hands to complete the mission. But when the dragon hatches, Aric’s life is thrown into disarray.
Accused of being the world breaker of an old prophecy by the elves, sought after by the ever-growing orc clans as vengeance against the elves, and desired by the human kings and queens for power, Aric will stop at nothing to protect his new dragon. It may be the only thing that can turn the tides of the war.
Can Aric fight fate and save the world, or is he destined by the whispers of a world breaker?
Helen’s thoughts: 5/5
Found this book on Indie Story Geek, and oh my! Really enjoying this immersive world, the battle scenes at the beginning are a bit grisly, but once you’re past those we get into the Wheel of Timeesque world and find out that none of the warring nations are telling the truth, and maybe a World breaker is what’s needed!
Aric and Moro are brothers, signed up to the sentinels (more lovely sentinels!!) and have been fighting against the orcs on behalf of the elves for years. A battle goes awry, Moro and Aric are separated, believing each other dead, and the brothers are set on very different paths. We the reader get to see two sides of the story which has been mired in lies and untruths from the beginning of time.
Aric bonds with a dragon, even though humans are not supposed to be able to. Moro is captured by the Orcs and subjected to barbaric tests which confuse him further.
Eldras is wonderful, though he’s the only dragon we see the thoughts of, so we have no idea what the other dragons think or know.
Well written, lots of action and battles, and I’m just as confused as to who is trying to do what as I was in the beginning! All I know is that every race is lying to their own people and each other, killing dragons, even though they are supposed to revere them. I have no idea how Aric or Moro is supposed to figure out the right path. Guess we’ll have to read book 2 to find out!
