Of Ashes and Blood - Shattered Empire, #1

Hatched in ashes. Coated in blood. Aganopea is a land of chaos. Dragonlords clash for power, allowing monstrous hordes to swarm human cities. In a village near the Elven Kingdoms, Derrik Thon and his two friends prepare for a feat beyond their years, an adventure that few would survive. But when terrible news shakes the village and two people disappear, Derrik is thrown headfirst into a war that started before he was born.
A war for the survival of humanity. All the monsters start hunting him, for reasons he could never imagine. Although they see him as a threat, he is just a mortal man. A fireball could turn him to ashes. And blades will draw his blood.
