Book 1 of The Saramond Quests
Dragon pee really stinks.
With that bit of cautionary advice, master dragonslayer Davian begins his tale.
Davian is a Third Level Master of The Order, a group of men who alone have the power to battle the most fearsome creatures on all of Saramond. For thousands of years, the brothers of The Order have protected their world.
Now something has upset the balance of power between man and dragon, and Davian must face what appears to be a dragon that cannot be seen.
But Davian is losing his grip on reality — and the fate of the world rests with a stable hand, an underfed priest, and a gardener from beyond the stars.

| Demons in the Storm (26.36 MB) | In which Master Davian's headaches grow stronger as the companions continue toward Stelnregon, and he begins to suffer from confused and disturbing dreams.

| The Burning Sky (26.74 MB) | In which Master Davian, Fosdric, and Brother Galthorn come across a dragon killed by an unknown weapon of incredible power.

| The Caves of Stelnregon (25.28 MB) | In which Davian learns that the man who commands the dragons is a rogue Master of The Order named Arandor -- and that Commander Orson is not a military commander, in spite of his mighty dragon-killing weapon.
