He helped save a city. He couldn't save his parents.

Prince Waydsyn Scot returned from war a hero. Then a dragon murdered his parents, leaving him with overwhelming grief, guilt, and questions he couldn't answer.

For years, Wayd had dreamed of joining the Order of the Dragon, whose legendary Templars and Seekers protect Ardonor from dragons. But now, with his parents dead and the man who helped raise him missing, Wayd struggles to find a reason to move forward.

His lifelong best friend, Owen Delmsmith, has other ideas.

Together, they attempt the Trials of the Dragon, hoping to earn a place among the greatest warriors in Ardonor. If they succeed, Wayd might finally become strong enough to fight the creatures he couldn't stop.

But surviving the Trials is only the beginning.

Inside the Order, Wayd and his friends encounter fierce rivalries, dangerous training, powerful dralchemy, and mysteries that have remained hidden for generations.

And as Wayd learns more about the Order, troubling questions begin to emerge.

Why were his parents murdered? What happened to the man who had sworn to protect them? And how much does the Order really know about the dragons it was created to fight?

Wayd entered the Order hoping to become a stronger warrior.

But finding the truth may prove far more dangerous than he ever imagined.

Dragon Born begins The Drahiad Chronicles, an epic fantasy series filled with dragons, magic, friendship, dangerous trials, and secrets that will change Ardonor forever.
