A Bond of Flame — Richard Fierce

Sometimes there's a fine line between truth and a lie.

Eldwin's quest to become a dragon rider seems hopeless, but he won't let his dream to bond with a dragon die. A sell-sword job with a caravan promises a decent payment, and offers him a chance to continue his quest.

The caravan he guards has a secret, and when he uncovers it, he can hardly believe his change of luck. However, despite the turn of events, his life only gets harder and a chance meeting with an enemy brings Eldwin to a moral dilemma.

He must now face the truth, which will shatter everything he's believed.

Fans of Sarah K.L. Wilson's Dragon School, Christopher Paolini's Eragon and Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Riders of Pern will feel right at home.

A Bond of Flame is the second episode of the series Dragon Riders of Osnen.
