by Author Daniel Peyton

He Who Lives In Peace, Can Expect War

Gallenor is once again at peace. Hallond the Terrible is defeated. Markus has emerged as the first Dragon in over a thousand years. Now it’s time to learn to master his powers in school at the College of Wizardry near Thendor. But Markus finds that life as a powerful wizard is more complicated than he assumed. He struggles to split his time between learning and working with the provisional government in Thendor. Plus, he desires to build his relationship with Crystal. But a problem occurs when the people challenge Marcus’ primary role of guiding the stumbling nation back to stability. So he decides to search for a new king to rule over Gallenor and learns that the Gnomes are facing extinction from a disease ravaging their species. Markus gathers other older wizards to help him, and as his journey takes him to the ancient capital of the Shlan to meet their king, he requests something else from Markus: to find the source of the darkest magic in all of Gallenor. His quest takes a sudden turn for the worst as he comes across a ship that predates the age of the ancient Dragon War itself and unearths a being of pure evil, unlike anything Markus has ever seen before.
