About this ebook

 Before the Godsdeath we had power. Dragons commanded the arcane and the divine equally. We could have raised our stillborn eggs to life. Such things were not unusual for our kind, especially not those who had magic and motivation. I had both.

Ophiliana was the better fighter. I was the better spellcaster. We were, however, both dragons; magic and muscle in one package, wings that could block out the sun, flame that could burn a horse to the bone, eyes as sharp as eagle’s.

And yet, for all our strength and power, Ophiliana and I could not conceive.

We kept trying, of course. Dead egg after dead egg. We waited.

The humans were not so patient. They pleaded with the gods to return. They threatened. They screamed to the heavens.

And then, all other avenues exhausted, they sacrificed.

Ratings and reviews

The story unfolds in a realm where dragons once commanded immense power, controlling both arcane and divine forces. Before the Godsdeath—a cataclysmic event that shattered the balance of their world—dragons possessed the ability to perform miraculous feats, such as bringing stillborn eggs to life. The novel introduces readers to this rich, fantastical setting, where magic and martial prowess are deeply intertwined.

Dragons of the Godsdeath is a captivating fantasy that delves into the profound and often painful experiences of two mighty dragons, Ophiliana and the narrator, who grapple with an unexpected and heart-wrenching challenge: their inability to conceive despite their immense power. This narrative explores themes of magic, loss, and the limits of even the greatest beings in the face of personal trials.

I feel you so much. And my soul pains for real in my life. I just choose not to open the box. Pandora!!!!!

About the author

I've always been thinking of stories for as long as I've been alive. I have way, way, way too many to tell and far too little time to tell them.

It was only in 2011 that I actually started shaping and weaving those random, jumbling, chaotic masses of thoughts into coherent narratives and began self-publishing.

I write a little science fiction, a little fantasy, a little humour and comedy, and a few other things all over the place.
