DRAGON BONES
Most everyone thinks Ward of Hurog is a simple-minded fool--and that's
just fine by him. But few people know that his foolishness is (very
convincingly) feigned. And it's all that's saved him from death at the
hands of his abusive father, who's always seen Ward as a bitter rival
for power. When his father dies, Ward becomes the new lord of
Hurog...until a nobleman declares that he is too dim-witted to rule.
Ward knows he cannot play the fool any longer. To regain his kingdom, he
must prove himself worthy--and quickly. Riding into a war that's heating
up on the border, Ward is sure he's on the fast track to glory. But soon
his mission takes a deadly serious turn, for he has seen a pile of
magical dragon bones hidden deep beneath Hurog Keep. The bones can be
dangerous in the wrong hands, and Ward is certain his enemies will stop
at nothing to possess them....
DRAGON BLOOD
Ward, ruler of Hurog, is striving to restore his lands and people to
prosperity, wanting nothing more than a quiet life. But when an old
friend, escaping from High King Jakoven's torturers, seeks refuge in his
keep, Ward can no longer ignore the growing rebellion against the
tyrannical High King. He realizes that he cannot stand aside--he must
join with the rebels. However, Jakoven has a secret weapon with which he
intends to crush the rebellion: Farsonsbane, a magical artifact that has
destroyed entire cities. But first, Jakoven needs blood to awaken it.
Dragon's blood. The very blood that courses through Ward's veins....
