The world is falling to the burning shadow of the Possessed and only the power of a battle mage can save it. But the ancient bond with dragonkind is failing. Of those that answer a summoning too many are black. Black dragons are the enemy of humankind. Black dragons are mad.
Falco Dante is a weakling in a world of warriors, but worse than this, he is the son of a madman. Driven by grief, Falco makes a decision that will drive him to the brink of despair. As he tries to come to terms with his actions Falco follows his friends to the Academy of War, an elite training school dedicated to martial excellence. But while his friends make progress he struggles to overcome his doubts and insecurity. Even Queen Catherine of Wrath has her doubts about Falco’s training.
While the Queen tries to unite the Kingdoms against the Possessed, Falco struggles to overcome his fears. Will he unlock the power trapped inside him or will he succumb to madness and murder like his father?

Enjoyable read indeed. Definitely a solid addition to the world of fantasy writing.
Phew! Now that was a long read and that is a complement to Peter. If you can get a reader to slog through 800 odd pages without putting a book down you must be doing something wrong. And this despite not having a very complex world or story line. The tale just comes alive in the telling and its the everyday progress of the characters that keeps you engaged resulting in the story not slowing down at any point. The book really comes alive in the last 50 pages and it manages to deliver some goose bump moments at the end. If you plan to lie in bed or a beach for a week without a care in the world, this is your companion.
Story is ok, worldbuilding is ok, characters ok-ish, but the writing is beginner level amateurish and the dialogues atrocious.
