Sorcerers of Argorilium - The Chronicles of Ferantiana, #1

The King of Heltronia is being manipulated by Terandol, the Lekaran sorcerer, to conquer the neighbouring kingdoms as the initial stage of the Lekaran's plan of vengeance. Davit's meticulous work is threatened when Alayn is accused of treachery and is forced to flee the kingdom. The sorcerer's hand is forced and time is running out. Now Davit must undertake his own perilous journey to Pembrolia to confront the great Alsias dragon.
After killing Sergeant Silus Deveral, who had plotted against him, in a one-to-one sword fight, Alayn and his group commence their flight north to Mattonia via the barren, inhospitable kingdom of Pembrolia. They are pursued by two divisions from the Hawk Legion, whose orders are to capture or kill Alayn and his men. Tasked with watching over them and those who travel with them, Katriana goes beyond her remit and uses her burgeoning power to help protect them against the Heltronian soldiers and the Lekaran sorcerers.
Meanwhile, Davit's nephew, the great sorcerer Sortar, whom all believe is dead, is travelling across the Southern Kingdom searching for the two lost pieces of an amulet that has magical properties and will help them in the final battle with the Lekara.
