Several times throughout history, dragons have dwindled in numbers and retreated from interacting with humanity. Within a few generations we relegate stories of the mighty beasts to myth and cease thinking about them. But dragons eventually return with a vengeance.And vengeance is a defining thought for Gerald, a teenage orphan in Scotland in 1511 A.D. as he heads off to Cair Parn, the local castle, to finish transitioning to adulthood. Much of his time there involves learning to fight both men and dragons. Gerald relishes the latter, believing he lost loved ones to draconic pride and arrogance.On his quest to become the greatest dragon lord of all time by killing every dragon on the planet, Gerald has to grapple with the possibility that dragons-- like humans-- are not all evil. But he knows for a fact that some are, and one in particular needs to die.When they finally meet, Gerald has to face some facts. Argyll is huge, vicious, at least as smart as Gerald, and possibly deranged.And that's the simple part of Gerald's life.Young adult fantasy. Historical fiction with dragons.

Sometimes the edge of madness is the only sane place. Gerald and company race back to his hometown to face his nemesis Argyll, but the dragon has vanished without a trace. In Argyll's wake Gerald finds only mystery and misery. A great dragon lord is missing after a nearby battle that no one in the village noticed, despite a large chunk of forest being laid waste. The biggest clue is a stump that is no longer wood, containing a cursed sword no one has been able to remove. Evidence suggests the involvement of someone who died centuries ago. Despair, strange visions, lethargy, jealousy, and other vexations plague the inhabitants of the formerly peaceful Scottish village, including Gerald and his fiancée Sally. Gerald must find the source of these curses and break their evil magic by traveling to a country he has never heard of, somewhere to the east. Once there, he ends up spending the night inside an active volcano. After that, things start to get really weird. Young adult fantasy. Historical fiction with dragons.
