Bitterwood
Bitterwood, the famed dragon hunter, is growing old. His desire for vengeance on the dragon-soldiers who murdered his family finally beginning to wane after many years of bloodshed. A disastrous encounter that leads to the death of the royal prince dragon, however, incites the king’s retribution and brings terror and death to the world. For the king sets out to eradicate the human race, and only Bitterwood, trapped inside a doomed city, can try to lead his people to salvation.
Full of rich characters and drama, Bitterwood is an amazingly astute tale of war and genocide, a tale with resonance in our own troubled times, told through the eyes of a master fabulist.
Bitterwood marks a new high point in the dragon-fantasy genre and announces James Maxey as a significant new talent.
"A grabber from page one, a smart tale of adventure and revenge sprinkled with echoes of our own dangerous times. James Maxey's world of dragons and humans at war is so solidly and engagingly rendered that I never wanted to leave." – John Marco
