The Dragon's Wound

If you were thrilled by Percy Jackson and the Olympians, inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia, or laughed out loud at Redwall, you'll love the new fantasy adventure The Dragon's Wound.

Hunted by a horde of minotaurs, attacked by shadow elves, betrayed by a water dragon—if he survives, one boy could change the fate of the world.

In the quiet of Oridun Village, Jason Kane is being prepared for a mission. For as long as he can remember, his life has revolved around combat and weapons. And though he's becoming a skilled fighter, he still has much to learn. Haunted by dark fragments of memories, he begins to question the secrecy surrounding his father's warrior past—and even his own identity. Disaster and loss propel him into a search for answers.

Pursued by foes, Jason seeks the wizard who can unravel the mysterious prophecy that echoes in his dreams. With the help of unexpected friends, he embarks on a perilous quest through the dangers of the Elven Forest and the deceptions of Mordellan Swamp.

Swords and sorcery will not be enough—the companions need a powerful ally, or darkness will prevail. Jason must stand face to face with a vengeful dragon—and a weighty choice. As life and death hang in the balance, he must decide if he will follow the path for which he was chosen.

With the action of The Ranger's Apprentice, the wonder of The Lord of the Rings, and the humor of Redwall, The Dragon's Wound begins an epic tale that will thrill, intrigue, and inspire.

Slowly, he crumpled to the ground as darkness and pain engulfed him. Just when all seemed lost, the dream changed again. Now he found himself on a high rock ledge, looking out at a great emerald sea. Everything felt new and serene. The pain and fear had vanished. A sense of calm wonder overtook him as Jason stared across the endless waves. A strong voice, tremendous and wise, spoke calmly, saying, “Always remember this: I chose you. Remain in the light, my son, and your path will not fail.”
