The High Citadel cannot be seen to harbor a killer.
This is a simple truth, and one that Raz i'Syul Arro has little choice but to respect. As the winter storms fall away in favor of the North's pleasant summer months, Raz finds himself having once more to face the cruelties of the world with spear and sword in hand.
For the first time, though, the Monster no longer walks his path alone. Syrah Brahnt, Priestess of Laor and adopted daughter of the former High Priest of Cyurgi ‘Di himself, has joined him on his journey. Leaving all that might have been behind, they set out together in search of new lives, always striving to stay ahead of the ever-looming shadows of old enemies that hound their every step.
Raz's legend, though, has spread too far. After vanquishing the great Kayle of the Northern tribes, his names have begun to echo across the realms: Monster of Karth, Scourge of the South, Dragon of the North. It isn't long before they are forced to draw on magic and steel to save themselves from the blades that seek them in the night, leaving them with little choice but to abandon everything they've ever known in favor of a perilous land neither would have every thought to seek. Meanwhile, waiting for them among the grasslands beyond those strange shores, a man whispers in his sleep, his iron shackles shaking as he trembles and repeats the same prophetic words over and over again.
"By sand, then snow, then sea, the Dragon comes."
The series
In a world where might makes right and mercy is a weakness few can afford, The Wings of War soars into the brutal heart of survival, vengeance, and reluctant heroism. From its first bloodstained pages, the series thrusts readers into the unforgiving life of Raz i'Syul, a dragonborn slave turned reluctant legend—hunted, feared, and forged in fire.
Read full series description
But this isn’t a story about triumph handed down by fate. It’s one where every inch of freedom is earned, clawed from the hands of those who would see power chained and burned. With a voice that blends grit with startling vulnerability, the series strips fantasy down to its rawest edge, delivering pulse-pounding battles, deeply personal stakes, and a protagonist whose rage is only matched by his aching desire for something more than war.
What sets this saga apart isn't just the visceral action or its sweeping, ash-covered landscapes. It’s the emotional gravity—the slow unraveling of a soul shaped by cruelty, yet still capable of hope. Themes of identity, honor, and the cost of revenge echo through every chapter, wrapped in a world where monsters wear both scales and crowns.
Dark, unrelenting, and deeply human beneath its scales and steel, The Wings of War doesn’t offer easy answers. It offers a journey—violent, transformative, and impossible to forget.
