Emperor's Dragon
The exhilarating journey of Jai and his dragon Winter comes to a bloody climax in this stunning conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Taran Matharu’s cultivation fantasy trilogy, the Soulbound Saga.
The war for the empire has reached its breaking point. And if Jai is to succeed, he must continue to cultivate his powers so that he is strong enough to defeat the tyrannical Sabines.
As High Khan, Jai has sacrificed everything to protect his people, forging fragile alliances, learning from those who would help him progress beyond a mere warrior, and fighting desperate battles against the Sabine Empire. Now, though, the stakes are higher than ever. The coalition Jai has painstakingly built is threatened from within by betrayal and from without by the overwhelming might of Emperor Titus.
As armies clash and dragons and gryphons fight tooth and claw for dominance of the skies, Jai must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue where a single misstep could mean the end of his world. With his soulbound dragon, Winter, at his side, he must not only level up, but confront his own heritage and make impossible choices that will determine the fate of empires. To secure a future for those he loves, he may have to risk becoming the very thing he fights against.
