In CROWN OF DRAGONS (Age of the Sorcerers—Book Five), Ravin has finally taken complete control of the capital, crushing all those in his way and subjecting its citizens to slavery and brutality.

Yet not everyone is under Ravin’s thumb: Lenore, finally jolted out of her despondent state by the death of her mother, realizes it is time to step into her destiny. Instead of allowing herself to become Ravin’s plaything, she must, she realizes, summon an army to defeat him.

But can she?

Devin, meanwhile, is getting closer to completing the unfinished sword and being able to return to the capital in time to help save it. Will he?

But will none of it matter if Nerra rises up, and if her dragons destroy them all?

AGE OF THE SORCERERS weaves an epic sage of love, of passion, of sibling rivalry; of rogues and hidden treasure; of monks and warriors; of honor and glory, and of betrayal, fate and destiny. It is a tale you will not put down until the early hours, one that will transport you to another world and have you fall in in love with characters you will never forget. It appeals to all ages and genders.

Book #6 will be available soon.

“A spirited fantasy ….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.”

“Action-packed …. Rice's writing is solid and the premise intriguing.”

Reviews for Crown of Dragons (Age of the Sorcerers—Book Five)

[NNEAMAKA PAYNE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Crown of Dragons is Morgan Rice’s fifth book in the Age of the Sorcerers series and it does not disappoint. I give it 5 stars as she continues to spin the story of the royals of the Northern kingdom as they navigate the occupation of the Southern kingdom’s forces.

I’m amazed at how she masterfully weaves multiple plot threads and still holds the reader’s attention with so many things going on. I never felt lost or confused, but rather hungry to know what happens next for every character. In this book five, I was happy to see the dragons playing a larger role, as well as more of a young man, by the name of Devin, introduced in the first book and only marginally involved until now. He’s an underdog of sorts, gifted in ways he’s never known, and certainly on a hero’s journey.

Rice offers several complex characters that make the story unique and interesting and then masterfully blends their paths to add more depth with twists and turns that have me running alongside the character trying to catch my breath.

As I’ve mentioned in the reviews of the previous four books in this series, the only thing I find disappointing is that the story isn’t brought to closure but is more episodic. But with that said, I find the story captivating enough to continue on to the next book. If you are a fantasy reader who enjoys medieval-type settings filled with wizards, dragons, royals, nobles, and peasant folk then this book is for you. And of course, there is a smattering of love in the works on more than one front. I’m ready for book six.
