Wizards. Sea Serpents. Pirates. Dragons.
Follow Darek of the Red Claw Clan through this three book box set, a young
sailor crossing blades with ruthless pirates and warring clans. As
his hidden powers grow, first in his natural ability to commune with
sea dragons, so too does his uncanny dragon-riding skill and sudden
bursts of psi power.
Yet a foul wind blows across the serpent deeps, bringing with it a former
apprentice, Cyrus, a forsaken sorcerer who wields terror and death.
The Dragonclaw Islands are thrust into the brink of war as Darek
struggles to find his path, unlock his skills, though alienated from
his sister and parents. Is he destined to become the Mage Reborn?
Ever more does he realize he must stop the tides of war, bring order
to clan and family while the rising menace of Cyrus lurks unseen.
Taken under the wing of the ailing Dragon Mage Agrippa, Darek uses his
powers to unite the Dragon Riders against the growing swarm of sea
serpents controlled by Cyrus’s forbidden magic. The fires of
rebellion, stoked by a Pirate Queen, plunge the Islanders into an
all-out war among dragons, sea serpents, and monsters of the deep.
But are Darek’s powers enough to combat these foes, especially when
he is linked to the pirates by blood bond and their beautiful queen?
Dive into this world of adventure, imagination, and danger that fans of
Dragonriders of Pern, Eragon, Dragonlance, Dragon Blood, Dragonvein,
Temeraire, and Dragon School will love.

Livis stared with cool
resentment at her father as he slammed his looking glass shut, cracking the
lens in the process. Captain Serle gave a blustery sigh as he rubbed his square
jaw, peering out through black, slitted eyes from the foredeck of The Singing Gull. “I’m done arguing with
you, Livis. You’ve come a long way, but you’re not ready to raid a Black Claw
ship.”
“I’m ready, Father!” One
look back at the crew under her command made her regret the choice of words. “I
thought you said it was an easy target.”
Her bear of a father grumbled. “There’s treachery about, Liv, I
can feel it. That clipper out there is a trading vessel to be sure, but seizing
cargo from the Black Claws is never easy. Just pray the report we received is
true and they have no dragon riders aboard.”
“Don’t underestimate the
power of our sea dragons,” Livis replied. She stroked her curly russet-dark
hair trailing down her back, her heart beating with fierce emotion.
Captain Serle glanced over the railing at the mounted creatures
swimming below. They circled the rowboat her father had used to cross over from
his own ship. The silver-green pair, sisters, sported shimmering petal-shaped
scales on their muscular torsos with sharp fangs protruding from long snouts.
Black claws descended from lizard-like feet. Fierce hunters they were, deadlier
than any shark. The pirates who rode them were either very brave, or insane.
“When that clipper turns in
to the reef, my ship and dragons will attack.” He glared at her. “Stay out of
range until they surrender.” He turned and stared down the rest of her crew who
stood fingering their weapons aboard the one-masted schooner. “Don’t engage. If
anything goes wrong, you’re to sail straight back to Pirate Cove. Do you
understand?”
“Aye, Captain.” Livis gave a
sloppy salute. She turned away and brooded as her father returned to his
rowboat. She gave instructions to her crew to be on the ready for an attack
while she moved about the decks, checking the harpoons and cannons for smooth
operation.
“But mistress,” Skarlee, the
quartermaster, protested, “your father expressly forbade us to—”
Livis shrugged. “He also said a good captain should never
be caught unprepared.”
Serle boarded his much larger flagship, The Longrunner. Within moments, the
barbaric schooner with its garland of skulls latched to her gunwales was moving
into position to attack as she and her crew looked on.
Livis reflected on the past year spent studying her father’s
trade. The other pirate schooners were on the prowl, chasing down other quarry
leagues away. It was just her ship and his…and it gave her a peculiar thrill.
Neither had expected to stumble across a lone Black Claw cargo ship. She was at
last on a raid with the infamous Captain Serle, only to be left out of the
action.
The prey, the three-masted clipper, approached the reef, her
white flag and three black streaks clearly visible. As they entered the narrow
channel, Captain Serle’s ship rounded a small island on an intercept course.
Serle’s cannons roared to life, sending a warning shot across the
clipper’s bow. The two dragons shot through the water, moving to flank the
ship. The Black Claw vessel had little room to maneuver. This should be where
the enemy captain saw reason and surrendered—only he didn’t. The clipper turned
just enough to fire broadside at Serle’s ship, their guns loaded in
anticipation of an attack.
“No!” Livis yelled as the
cannonballs ripped through the deck and sails of The Longrunner.
“In order to be happy you must create something meaningful in this world
and not just be a consumer of life. It is also important to share
your love freely with friends and family. I believe in confronting
your fears and experiencing new things, places, and people. Lastly,
everyone needs something to believe in whether it be religion, a
cause, or even themselves.” –
