Dragon King — Ron Washburn

Vayrock thought about his life before as it flashed before his eyes. The tender moments with Kenna, the peace he had known all his life. Then, the images of the massive death and destruction and the innocence lost all rushed back to his mind... “Tell me where she is, and I will let you live,” he demanded. On a distant world in another time, a legendary king with a surprising heritage rises to lead his people out of the darkness. This book is the account of the boy Vayrock, who loved peace, family, and his girlfriend Kenna. There hadn't been any wars for ages, all of society enjoying peace for many generations. Without warning, all of that changes. Young Vayrock finds himself in the middle of a horrible war that threatens to tear apart the whole of civilization. After a great personal loss, he has to do something he's always avoided: Fight for the ones he loves. How he accomplishes this, and what he discovers about himself and his heritage would shape the future of the world.
