Description
Dragonsbane is a fantasy epic that combines whirlwind adventure, magic and dragons in a richly detailed world.
The story begins when the Black Dragon seizes the capital of Bel, prompting young noble Gareth to embark on a perilous journey into the decaying Northlands to find John Aversin, the legendary dragonkiller known as Dragonsbane. There, he meets Jenny Waynest, a half-taught sorceress with her own motivations for taking on the dragon.
A bargain is struck between witch and dragonkiller: rid the city of its monster in return for the king's aid in their winter home beset by bandits. But nothing goes as planned, as Gareth discovers he is not what he seems, and the king is under the control of a deeply evil power seeking total control over the land.
