Darkening Moons

About the Book

The darkening of the moons is nearing. The sages speak of the moons’ alignment, but this time it’s different. A change rumbles through the sky, and evil lurks in its shadow. Prophesies warn of danger, but the nature and intent of the evil are a mystery. Entire villages are disappearing at random. Forces are on the move, but to what end? Dalen has completed his journey, begun in the Dragon Bard, to collect the stories of the dragon kind. All that is left is to present his work to the Bards’ Council. If it is approved, he will become the youngest Master Bard in history. But when he agrees to carry a message from an elven mage to the head of the Dragon Council, his personal quest becomes sidelined as he finds himself enmeshed in a rekindling of an age-old conflict. Dalen finds himself an unlikely ally to both dragons and elves as he joins with the Dragon Council in a race to solve the mystery and to stop the rising darkness before it engulfs all the living realms.
