DEATH CANNOT HOLD HIM—THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID.
AND THEY WERE RIGHT...
Evil has been made manifest, returned from shadow and madness. Try as they might, those who would be heroes could not prevent the return of The Dark One.
In the shattering aftermath, the survivors have but one choice: hunt down what cannot be killed. Cob, the ranger—the cursed—must find his quarry before the enemy makes his first move. By his side rides Androma, fearless and unyielding. They must succeed. To fail would doom the realm to a new war, a war without end.
But in a world slipping into darkness, not all hope is lost.
A time of dragons is yet to come. Joran Pendain must shoulder the weight of that destiny, but he need not shoulder it alone anymore. In the depths of Azad-guul, where only despair might breed, Joran’s path crossed with that of a dragon egg—his egg.
Theirs was not the only path to cross, however.
True to his word, Baelon Vos—Dragonlord—would make Joran a Rider worthy of legend—if he could survive the training. Baelon’s designs for the world have been years in the making, and Joran might just be the missing piece to bring it all together. Or bring it all down.
And beneath the waves, the ocean races stir, the currents swelling with revolution and the hope of freedom. Kitrana Voden, a battle maiden of the Swordsworn and proud Nimean, must find her way back to the people of Nimala before extinction drowns them all—before the oldest demon from the oldest world awakens from its slumber.
Above or below, it matters not to The Dark One. He is not afraid to be called evil. If evil could not be corrupted, bound, or destroyed, then he would gladly endure the title, if only to weed out the beasts that clothe themselves as men.
HE IS NOT THE CHOSEN ONE. HE IS NOT A HERO.
JUST A MAN—WHO REFUSED TO DIE.

Read full series description
The series takes readers on a journey through a landscape rich with magic, intrigue, and conflict. As kingdoms teeter on the edge of war, the delicate balance between humans and dragons is shattered, forcing old alliances to crumble and new ones to form. At the heart of this turmoil are a cast of complex, flawed characters—heroes and anti-heroes alike—who must confront their inner demons while navigating a world that seems determined to tear them apart.
Through breathtaking world-building, Philip C. Quaintrell masterfully creates a universe where the past bleeds into the present, and where each choice made has far-reaching consequences. Whether it’s the rise of an unlikely hero, the fall of a once-great kingdom, or the mysterious return of dragons that could alter the course of history, A Time of Dragons pulses with an energy that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
What truly sets this series apart is its exploration of power—how it corrupts, how it shapes destinies, and how it can ultimately be both a blessing and a curse. The dragons themselves are not just creatures of legend, but symbols of a world that has lost its way, embodying both awe and fear in equal measure. As the characters grapple with their own desires, loyalties, and fears, they are forced to confront not just the external battles, but the ones within themselves.
With its blend of action, deep emotional stakes, and a world brimming with tension, A Time of Dragons is an unforgettable journey for any lover of high fantasy. It’s a story of rediscovering what truly matters in a world on the brink of change, where the past never truly stays buried, and the future remains uncertain. A tale of dragons, magic, and the battle for power—this series will captivate fans of epic fantasy and leave them craving more with each turn of the page.
