Circle of Flames — Steven Smith

Colltalios has been rocked by the mass overhaul of its regal capital, subsequently; the king has been forced to rally troops in order to retaliate, attempting to bring together compliant southern forces, along with the rebellious northern troops. From across the seas, King Eriez will plead for help from the skilful elves who aided his father two decades prior, but as tension reaches a boiling point, it will be difficult to know who can be trusted, and who must be kept at arm's length. Meanwhile, elder dragon Tremor must prepare for the inevitable counter-attack, he must dig in deep and fortify the castle's defences, while the human army prepares to oust him from Chillington. Tremor has an ever-growing force of dragons at his beck and call, and a beastly army in the form of the Djahltongseris. The war has only just begun.
