About this ebook

 *2016 Modernized Format Edition 
Hold on to your dragon! You’re about to journey through a brave new world of hearty survivors straight into a dragon riding, troll fighting adventure for the ages. 

After struggling for more than two centuries to tame the inhospitable, dragon infested Islands where they washed up, the descendants of the survivors of a lost passenger ship are now striving to tame the Mainland they have found. 

But the Goblin King, an Ivory antlered demon called Gravelbone, has a different plan for the men who are invading his territory. He and his Nightshade are rallying the trolls to defend their lands. 
With the help of the dragons, goblins, and orcs they plan on rendering the wall the humans have built useless, so that they can drive man back to the islands from where they came. 

When stubborn King Blanchard finally accepts that the kingdom really is under attack it may be too late, and the only ones who can save the people on the Mainland have been locked away in the dungeon. 

Join some brave young men and their mentor, a grizzled old King’s Ranger, and a particularly clever young magic wielding woman, as they traverse the wild frontier, and sail to King’s Island to warn the King of the warring trolls. Then hold on for your life as you tear through the pages, because the pure blooded dragons they have befriended have another plan altogether.

Ratings and reviews

First of all if you are interested self-publishing you need to read Mark The Royal Dragoneers The Fine Print of Self-Publishing. Secondly, don't think for a moment that it's an easy process. It's not. And I think that is true for any publisher (I've used three). The Royal Dragoneers book does not rank AuthorHouse very high. One problem with AuthorHouse is that beyond the initial publishing of a book it gets expensive and the purchased price of the books is also expensive, which can discourage buyers. When I first published with AuthorHouse I went for all the bells and whistles without much success. But my book was also part of the problem. It really wasn't very good. Writers tend to exaggerate the value of their books and writing. You need to keep in mind that there are more than a quarter of a million new books and edition each year in the U.S. (Wikipedia). That's a lot of competition, and many of the writers are very, very good.

I enjoyed this book. I like how it had several characters sharing the hero roll, that kept things interesting and kept the excitement up at a steady pace

Good effort and scientific.I want more stories like this.Everyone should read the Royal Dragoneers.

About the author

 M.R. Mathias rose from unknown to award-winning, best-selling author at a pace most authors can only dream about. He is a prolific writer of epic fantasy novels, novellas, and short stories. Despite his busy writing, publishing, and promotional schedule Mathias continues to aid his fellow indie authors by posting about their books at Twitter and Facebook etc.

He shared his considerable knowledge of self-promotion in publishing The First Ten Steps. The book has become an important indie guide for navigating the often murky waters of using social media sites to get your eBook in front of avid readers.

Mathias has taken cross promotion to a new level in his "Indie Kindy" giveaways where he gives away a FREE Kindle Touch and or Kindle Fire loaded with independently published books. These events create a great deal of interest for the authors involved and to independently published books as a whole.

It is a pleasure working with M.R. Mathias and watching his amazing run at the top of the Amazon best seller lists.
