About this ebook

In this first adventure in the Year of the Rogue Dragon series, the world’s dragons—both good and evil—succumb to a curse that will devastate the realms

Renegade dragon hunter Dorn Graybrook hates dragons with a passion few can believe, let alone match. He has devoted his entire life—a life spent in the twisted body of a half-golem—to killing every dragon he can find.

You might feel the same way if one of them had killed your entire family in front of your eyes, bitten you in half, and left you for dead.

Killing one dragon at a time is hard enough, but when a vicious curse sweeps across the dragons of Faerûn, causing the beasts to slip into feral madness, it seems that Dorn’s time has come. As rage overcomes each and every dragon across the realms, civilization's only hope may lie in the last alliance Dorn and his fellow dragon hunters would ever accept.

Ratings and reviews

Some of the better D&D books I've read. solid characters and story a bit odd at times but overall enjoyable (second book is significantly better imo)

For years I've searched for another series as fantastical as this trilogy and I still haven't found anything as good, except for the R.A. Salvatore books I've already read. Easily one of the best in all of Forgotten Realms, IMO!

Read them years ago, lost the hard copies in a move, forgot how much I loved them
