The #1 Bestseller!

From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a sweeping new epic fantasy series: RISE OF THE DRAGONS (KINGS AND SORCERERS—Book 1).

Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is.

Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever.

15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever.

With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.

Book #2 in KINGS AND SORCERERS is also now available!

“RISE OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”

    Very disappointed in this book. Poorly written and obviously not proof read. I would nor recommend it to anyone. A waste of money.

    Definitely a great book. I enjoyed the “keeping me on edge” writing style. Main Characters having to different missions that’s centered around one landscape is fantastic. Looking forward to the next books

  • Getting noticed at 15?!

    I started to read this and was thankful my daughter had fallen asleep when I got to the part where the main character is 15 and getting noticed more often…… why?! Why is this needed as a flippen narrative for young adults? This is not acceptable behavior for youth people to experience and they should not read about it as if it is normal. Massive ick.
  • Easy read, several writing errors throughout..

    This book was truly awful. It should have been branded as a YA for 13 year old girls. I was on the cusp of just outright stopping the narration when the book ended. I listened while in traffic, so it could have been worse. Zero depth, character growth, or creativity in the book. This has no themes of Christianity despite what others proclaim (grasping at straws) but is truly among the worst YA novels I have read or listened to.
