New Dragon Fantasy Book

For many years I have been writing and re-writing a book about a warrior and a Dragon who share adventures together. Now, finally, I think I have come to a final version! Now of course, there is still much proofing to do, but, it's almost there! Just to tease you a bit, here is a small sample from the prologue...

Dragonmaster of Ardd: The Black Sword

Prologue

It wasn't just military discipline, it was a way of life, a state of mind. In all the land of Ardd, the Royal B'nat was the only army that trained their soldiers in the art of battle and sorcery - a
state of mystic minds and ideals. Master Galdor’s teachings were legendary throughout the land. For decades Galdor the Elder trained the armies under the rule of Artrus Ra’Saad, now ruled by his son, King Turk Ra’Saad, the youngest of the Ra’Saad family ever to hold that title.

Brul was very young himself when he entered the military, lying about his age to insure that his enlistment was accepted. It wasn't too difficult to convince the recruiter of his false age, since Brul's large, muscular frame and strong, mature attitude made him an instant apprentice.

Almost at once Master Galdor took notice of the young warrior. His enthusiasm and ability to acquire the ways of the Mystic Arts moved the wise one to take Brul under his full attention.
For years they trained closely together, sparring and practicing numerous spells and chants. In time they became very close. Brul considered Galdor a father, like the one he lost in the Great Mystic Wars when just a boy. The old sorcerer thought of Brul as the son he could never have.

Eventually the Master would come to show the young man his inner most secrets of sorcery, the most powerful commands of the mind and spirit. The power to use his mental will to communicate with the Great Dragons of Lake Landarr, and the royal Mountain Dragons, and the tremendous discipline that came with such a gift. Manipulating great energies which surrounded them naturally to complete magical feats and protective shields.

To call a Dragon a friend was something that no one had ever truly accomplished. The resident Dragons of the land, never known to be subjugated - or ruled, were rarely a threat, and always to be avoided. Yet Brul was about to discover for himself how close he came to meeting the Dragons...
