What do dragons,
knights and romance have in common? Grab a copy of multi-published author Daryl
Devore’s medieval fantasy romance – The
Last Dragon and discover the answer.
A sorcerer craving
dominance merged with a dragon, the power overwhelmed him causing him to split
into three dragons. Demora ruled thought, but was lost in time. Yidithe offered
protection, shining like the light of the sun. Ayrradex craved chaos, revelling
in destroying souls.
Many knights died,
attempting to slay the devil beast. One knight, Prince Hawkyns, did not fear
death. He’d lost everything. Away on a mission when Ayrradex attacked his
father’s kingdom, Penrythe,
Hawkyns returned to find his noble father – feeble and defeated. His wise mother
– crazed. His beautiful wife and unborn child - dead. Only a pile of ashes
remained for him to bury. He knelt before his King and vowed to slay the
devil-beast or be slain.
Derry was born with
powers that terrified her parents. They delivered her to a nunnery to be raised
in secret. Jathe, a wise sorceress, discovered the young girl and trained her
to one day use the secret hidden in her soul.
Legends spoken
around campfires hinted the sole way to destroy Ayrradex was when the hearts of
a knight and a golden dragon became one. But after a vicious battle with
Ayrradex, the golden dragon was thought to be dead.
Can Prince Hawkyns’s
bravery and Derry’s powers end the reign of the devil-beast’s terror?
Excerpt:
A monk raced to the
side of the abbot. “People at the gate. With torches and knives and… and… The
monastery is attacked. They want the babe.” He clutched at his chest, trying to
inhale air.
Hawkyns slipped his
arm through the shield’s straps and gripped his weapon. Derry could sense the
anger building in him. It wasn’t evil anger. It was the anger of a knight
knowing he must right an injustice.
“Derry, stay back
here. Take the horse and hide in the herbarium. I will get the child and
return.”
The abbot stood in
front of Hawkyns, barring his attack. “Ye cannot kill anyone within the walls
of the abbey. This is a place of peace. Of God.”
Hawkyns flinched. “But
if they kill yer brothers?”
The monk lowered his
head. “'Tis God’s will.”
Hawkyns’ knuckles turn
white from the grip on his sword. Frustrated anger filled his brow.
Father Jacobus raised
his hand. “Do not fight me on this, my son. Swear, in the eyes of God, that ye
will not kill within the walls of Baswich Abbey.”
Hawkyns knelt and
placed the point of his sword on the ground and rested his forehead on the
cross-shaped hilt. “I swear I will kill no one on abbey grounds.”
The abbot made the
sign of the cross over him. “Go. Save the child.”
