Through Ashes and War: The Forged and the Fallen, Book 3

In the aftermath of war, would-be heroes walk alone. In Galvenstone, Cyran Orendain has helped secure his kingdom's outcome in the second Dragon Wars, but the personal cost is high. Higher than he ever could have realized in his former life. With the Dragon Queen in confinement, dark deeds unfold around Cyran, and he must uncover the truth of his past and people. Of his king. Of dragons themselves and how their world and that of humans coincide. And the egg he stashed away has hatched, releasing a potential danger upon his comrades and the world. At Castle Dashtok, Jaslin yearns to pass on what she knows, but there is no one who will listen. If she is to survive, the magic of dragons and the other realm must be unlocked. In the frigid north, the hordes of old Cimerenden and the wyrms that move within the earth scour the lands. With the Sky Sea Pearl in their possession, they exact vengeance for the first Dragon Wars. Villages and cities are razed, and the hordes move toward the Smoke Breathers and the dwarves of Darynbroad, their true intentions obscure. Beneath the surface of everything, Pravon the Dragon Thief pursues Cyran, following the orders of the guild and its need for the dragonknight to join their ranks or die. But Pravon and Aneen are witnesses to the creature that has hatched from the egg, and desire and greed tempt them to other ends. The kingdoms of Cimeren are shifting, and its people and dragons must change as well—or all will be lost to the hordes. In the ashes of war, the sky sea has rained and the world of Cimeren is slick with blood.
