    About this ebook

    The great wurm Ghalthier knew no weakness until humankind began to hunt him. Their steel tore through his wings and chipped at his scales as he fled the eastern armies through the forests near the edge of the Empire. He took human form in an effort to hide and recover, but the battles left his body weak and his name suspect.

      Jun 10, 2022

      There once lived a dragon named Deathwing. Well, at least that’s what they called him. Deathwing was growing old, far too old for his liking. The joints of his claws ached and groaned under his ever-growing weight and his scales were beginning to los

      Dragon Slayer

      The scent of fresh blood hung thick in a cold winter’s air. Winds lashed against his scales as the human archers flung arrows at his breast, though the result was the same. Oak and steel shattered when their weapons struck him. His claws swept the ground and razed the soil, pushing back the armies and their advance with each stroke, but the humans didn’t stop following him through the forest. Their weapons tore through his wings and chipped at his golden scales. The great wurm Ghalthier knew no weakness until humankind began to hunt him.
