Book Summary

Placed by the hands of a god into the womb of Dragoloth’s royal family, Pharun has struggled all his life to prove that he is worthy to inherit the throne.

But now the throne sits empty, with more than one candidate vying for its seat. Violence erupts and corruption is unearthed as a game of gods and thrones threatens to make the greatest empire in the world crumble.

All Pharun ever wanted was to prove he was a worthy son. Now he has to prove himself a worthy king.

My Review:

The Dragon Disciples is an interesting book whereby vampires, dwarves, goblins and humans are all concerned in some way with the fate of the Empire. There is a strong religious aspect to the story, which in some ways, detered me from really enjoying it, although it did have it’s place in the story. I liked the action parts, which at times were very gory. I sobbed with the characters when the major plot points happened which I felt were unjust. It grabbed my attention and kept me reading to the end. The story almost had a Game of Thrones feel to it with all the political turns. A great start to this series.
