The Ruin

Book excerpt: Madness takes hold, enemy victory is within reach, and forgotten secrets are revealed in this final installment in The Year of the Rogue Dragons Rogue dragons become heroes when a millennia-old curse is revealed. But knowing the cause of a disease and curing it are two very different things—especially when most of the victims would rather not be cured at all. With Dorn Graybrook and his team no closer to breaking the curse, it seems evil spellcaster Sammaster is even closer to victory. In the farthest reaches of the northern lands lies the key to the Rage. There, the dragons meet at a ruined citadel to decide the fate of their mighty race. It is a vicious debate between good and evil—between those who wish to keep the magic of the curse alive and those who wish to break it. For Dorn, ending the curse has become less a mission of duty than of love, and that only makes it more vital succeed.
