The Cretorian Knight's Ring (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993988115)

ONE RING. ONE DRAGON. ONE BETRAYAL THAT WILL BURN THE WORLD.

Lionus, a mercenary from the island of Emeros, was not meant to survive. He discovered one of the nine dragon rings-only to be betrayed and left for dead for trusting the wrong man.

He awakens in Accreton, the stronghold of the Valenours-dragonlords who rule as much by fear as by flame. There, beneath the cold gaze of the rider Valeciia Valenour, she offers him a single chance at life... and perhaps, one at revenge.

Given one of the nine magical rings, he is remade into something dangerous-a Cretorian Knight, the elite guards of the Valenour family, and one of the few mortals permitted to command a dragon.

Yet in the treacherous world of Emerion, and amidst a dragon civil war, Lionus quickly learns, power is never given freely in Accreton.

Sent to secure an alliance in the Silverlands and guided by a fiery companion, Lionus is thrust into a court where loyalty is a blade that cuts both ways. In his journey, Lionus must seek the lost Cretorian Ring while evading the flames of an unknown rising dragon rider. To survive, Lionus must decide what he is willing to become: a knight, a weapon... or something far worse.

Because in a world ruled by daggers and dragons, the only men who survive are those who do not fear their own fire.
