Sword and Crown: A Young Adult Fantasy Adventure

By Richard Fierce

Danger lurks in every shadow.

When Eldwin and Sion are arrested by one of the king’s riders and escorted across Osnen, they are attacked by dragon slayers. Banished from the Citadel, they must face the threat on their own.

Fans of Sarah K.L. Wilson’s Dragon School, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern will feel right at home.
