Description
The Adamantine Palace by Stephen Deas In this gripping fantasy, dragons once ruled the world, but now they are bred and trained to serve as mounts for knights. However, when one man seeks to overthrow the empire's ruling aristocracy, he sets in motion a chain of events that could spell disaster. A single dragon has gone missing, and its return could unleash chaos on the already fragile balance of power. As tensions rise, the rival claimants to the throne must confront the very real possibility of hundreds of dragons being unleashed upon them. With its fast-paced action, razor-sharp dialogue, and a healthy dose of irony, this is a fantasy that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Stephen Deas's novel is a masterclass in character-driven storytelling, with complex and nuanced characters that drive the plot forward at a breakneck pace.
