Holt Cook was never meant to be a dragon rider. He has always served the Order Hall of the Crag dutifully, keeping their kitchen pots clean.

Until he discovers a dark secret: dragons do not tolerate weakness among their kin, killing the young they deem flawed. Moved by pity, Holt defies the Order, rescues a doomed egg and vows to protect the blind dragon within.

But the Scourge is rising. Undead hordes roam the land, spreading the blight and leaving destruction in their wake. The dragon riders are being slaughtered and betrayal lurks in the shadows.

Holt has one chance to survive. He must cultivate the mysterious power of his dragon's magical core. A unique energy which may tip the balance in the battles to come, and prove to the world that a servant is worthy after all.

Read full series description

The kingdom of Dyrath is crumbling under the weight of ancient powers awakened by a war that should never have been fought. Magic runs wild, dangerous, and uncontrolled, and the lives of those who wield it are at risk. At the center of this chaos are characters who are bound by fate yet struggle to shape their own paths—warriors haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, rulers facing the consequences of their decisions, and rebels hoping to shatter the old ways.

As the battle for survival intensifies, Songs of Chaos delves into the raw emotions of its characters. Readers will journey through realms where betrayal is a constant, and even the bravest must reckon with the weight of their choices. With each twist and turn, Miller crafts a world that feels as alive as the characters who inhabit it—gritty, uncertain, and full of haunting beauty.

What makes Songs of Chaos so compelling isn’t just the breathtaking world-building or the high-stakes battles, but the way it invites readers to explore themes of loss, redemption, and the struggle for power. It’s a world where every action has consequences, and the lines between hero and villain are often blurred. Readers will be left questioning what it truly means to fight for the greater good—and whether such a thing even exists in a world of endless turmoil.

Whether you’re drawn to epic battles, intricate political intrigue, or the complex inner lives of characters caught in a web of chaos, this series will keep you turning pages well into the night. With each book, Michael R. Miller proves that even in the most catastrophic of times, there are stories worth telling—and heroes worth following.
