Winter. War. Chaos.

As Elder turns against Elder and riders clash, Holt and Ash fight to protect the people of the Fae Forest as Thrall seeks to blight every creature within it. On the front lines their only real aid comes from Holt’s new lunar blade, and a dangerous new ally whose claws cut both ways.

In the west, Athra and Risalia have dragged Talia into war. She can’t bring peace without pain; told she can’t be a rider and a queen; torn beyond duty and her dream beyond the dream. There are no good options, not without becoming the monster her enemies claim her to be.

Rake and Osric have missions of their own, one to right their past, the other to confront it. Both will step out of the known world, to the Green Sea of the east and beyond the desert’s end; both hunted by new scourge of immense power and skill.

Few will survive.

The reckoning has come.

Michael R. Miller

Michael R. Miller’s writing brings readers into the heart of sweeping fantasy worlds, where dragons fly high and the fates of heroes are bound by the choices they make. Known for his vivid world-building and fast-paced storytelling, Miller has established himself as a captivating voice in the realm of epic fantasy.

Growing up along the rugged coast of Scotland, Miller was immersed in a landscape rich with myth and legend, a backdrop that would influence much of his writing. His stories are inspired by the wild beauty of nature and the timeless conflicts of heroism and destiny. From these roots, he created The Dragon’s Blade series, a trilogy that explores themes of redemption, transformation, and the bonds that hold worlds together. With millions of readers across the globe, his debut The Reborn King and its follow-up novels set the stage for an unforgettable journey through realms of magic and power.

Miller’s writing stands out for its ability to blend compelling character arcs with intricate magical systems. His readers are often drawn into the personal struggles of his characters—fighting for identity, control, and survival in worlds that feel as real and dangerous as our own. Beyond his novels, Miller’s expertise extends into the world of publishing. With a background in Bloomsbury Publishing and as a co-founder of Portal Books, a digital publisher, his insights into the evolving landscape of self-publishing have earned him recognition in multiple circles.

But it’s in his latest works, like Songs of Chaos and the Ascendant series, where Miller truly finds his stride, blending classic dragon-riding fantasy with a fresh, daring twist. In these tales, readers follow ordinary characters who find themselves thrust into extraordinary circumstances, battling forces much larger than themselves—both on the battlefield and within their own hearts.

From chart-topping bestsellers to recognition in academic settings (with excerpts from his novels appearing in the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts Exam Anthology), Michael R. Miller’s influence continues to grow. His writing is a testament to the power of storytelling to connect us to our deepest hopes, fears, and dreams.

When not writing, Miller often explores the intersection of nature and myth, crafting tales that invite readers to ask what it truly means to be heroic.

Songs of Chaos

In a world on the brink of destruction, where magic and violence intertwine in an endless struggle for power, Songs of Chaos invites readers into a vivid tapestry of conflict, sacrifice, and destiny. The series follows characters who are forced to confront their deepest fears as the very fabric of their world begins to unravel.

The kingdom of Dyrath is crumbling under the weight of ancient powers awakened by a war that should never have been fought. Magic runs wild, dangerous, and uncontrolled, and the lives of those who wield it are at risk. At the center of this chaos are characters who are bound by fate yet struggle to shape their own paths—warriors haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, rulers facing the consequences of their decisions, and rebels hoping to shatter the old ways.

As the battle for survival intensifies, Songs of Chaos delves into the raw emotions of its characters. Readers will journey through realms where betrayal is a constant, and even the bravest must reckon with the weight of their choices. With each twist and turn, Miller crafts a world that feels as alive as the characters who inhabit it—gritty, uncertain, and full of haunting beauty.

What makes Songs of Chaos so compelling isn’t just the breathtaking world-building or the high-stakes battles, but the way it invites readers to explore themes of loss, redemption, and the struggle for power. It’s a world where every action has consequences, and the lines between hero and villain are often blurred. Readers will be left questioning what it truly means to fight for the greater good—and whether such a thing even exists in a world of endless turmoil.

Whether you’re drawn to epic battles, intricate political intrigue, or the complex inner lives of characters caught in a web of chaos, this series will keep you turning pages well into the night. With each book, Michael R. Miller proves that even in the most catastrophic of times, there are stories worth telling—and heroes worth following.
