Book of Dragons, Volume 3 of 5 — Sara Reinke

Rhyden Fabhcun has faced many challenges and enemies in his life. In the third installment of this epic adventure, he faces what could well be his greatest yet--the vengeful and powerful spirit of a long-dead queen, Mongoljin Burilgitu. Summoned by the Oirat's bitter enemies, the Khahl, Mongoljin has an appetite for souls and is bent on preventing Temuchin Arightei from claiming the dragons' lair. She will stop at nothing, and will destroy anyone who stands with the boy who would be king--including Rhyden. Meanwhile, Captain Aedhir Fainne learns the terrible truth about the Torachan Empire's interest in the Enghan--and that when the Empire has conquered these beleaguered tribes, they will come next for his own homeland of Tiralainn. When imperial troops ambush Aedhir and his new-found friends, abducting Aedhir's son and daughter, as well as the young heir to the Enghan throne, Aedhir takes his place among the Enghan army ranks, riding headlong to their rescue, and to brutal, bloody war.
