The world building is so fleshed out and spine-tinglingly terrifying.J King Goodreads reviewer When Elrich finds a dying dragon, he ends up being put in charge of a sacred Firestone. A mighty weapon, many would kill to get their hands on it.The book was well developed and very descriptive. It could use an edit in places but I think high fantasy fans would really enjoy it. I would recommend it. S Gregory Amazon UK reviewer Excellent book!!!Csimplot Simplot Goodreads reviewer START READING!!!
