The Rage of Dragons
Game of Thrones meets Black Panther in this debut epic fantasy about a world caught in an eternal war, and the young man who will become his people's only hope for survival.
One in twenty-five hundred Omehi women are Gifted, capable of controlling the world's most destructive weapon - dragons. One in a hundred of their men are strong enough for the Gifted to infuse with magic, turning these warriors into near unstoppable colossi.
The rest are bred to fight, ferocious soldiers fated to die in the endless war. Tau Tafari, an Omehi commoner, wants more than this, but his life is destroyed when he's betrayed by those he was born to serve.
Now, with too few Gifted left and the Omehi facing genocide, Tau cares only for revenge. Following an unthinkable path, he will become the greatest swordsman to ever live, dying a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill three of his own people.
