Synopsis

The spellbinding final volume of the Shamer Chronicles The Dragon Lord of Dunark is ruthlessly hunting down Shamers and burning them at the stake. He must be brought down, and so a rebellion is formed.
Rebellions need leaders, and what better choice than the legitimate heir to Dunark, Dina’s friend Nico? Nico is reluctant to kill even a rabbit. Still, Dina’s considerable powers should help him triumph over the Dragon Lord. But Nico knows only too well that heroes have a nasty habit of ending up dead . . .
