"Word of mouth turned it into a bestseller. Very satisfying."-- The Fantasy GuideThe #1 Fiction bestseller!IN THE SERVICE OF DRAGONS #1 begins a new chapter in the epic fantasy adventure which began with THE KINGDOMS AND THE ELVES OF THE REACHES #1, a #1 Fiction bestseller for FOURTEEN WEEKS and a Kids & YA Top 10 Bestseller for THREE YEARS at Audible.com.In his acclaimed The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches books, Robert Stanek introduced us to the story of Ruin Mist, an extraordinary world of magic, adventure, and intrigue. Now in the eagerly awaited follow-up, he once again proves himself a wonderful storyteller with a gift for fast pacing and believable storylines. Already hailed as a classic, Robert Stanek's powerful series has been enjoyed by readers all over the world. The Elves of the Reaches returned from exile, bringing grave news. War came to the Kingdoms, and many perished in the turmoil and unrest. An attempt was made to kidnap a princess and assassinate a king. Now, from the ancient past a dark power returns. "The Fourth Wind blows across the mountain tops," they say. And the Twelve Clans emerge from myth and memory. As prophecy becomes reality, the factions struggle for control only to further divide the lands. Some would say that it was foolish for King Andrew Alder to support the Elves of the Reaches and send men to aid their cause when Men in all lands were being put to the test of steel. In the North, men back their words with action. Against a backdrop of treachery and intrigue, murder and mayhem, the price of freedom is high. Many will pay with their lives. Many will succumb to imprisonment and enslavement; for when alliances shatter, old hatreds rise anew and the plotting and scheming begin.

"Word of mouth turned it into a bestseller. Very satisfying."-- The Fantasy GuideThe sequel to the #1 Fiction bestseller!IN THE SERVICE OF DRAGONS #4 is the gripping conclusion of the epic fantasy adventure which began with IN THE SERVICE OF DRAGONS #1.A dark shadow has been cast across the known lands. War sweeps through the divided nations of men and elves. There is great despair for the future of men, for if the greatest of all kingdoms can fail there can be no hope in tomorrow's tomorrow for any man in any land. Yet there is deeper despair amongst the elven peoples where for the first time in recorded history the elves of the West and East are at war with each other.In such a dark time, there can be little hope, and yet there are those who do hold out hope. Hope that the righteous and just will prevail. Hope that tomorrow's tomorrow will bring a better day. But turning back the tides is an unlikely as turning back time. What's done is done. The Alder King is dead, murdered by his enemies: the very enemies that have taken the heart of his kingdom and with it the kingdom himself.There can be no doubt that an enemy king has extended his reach and taken the prize he so coveted. Yet the thing he prized above all else, the thing that spurned him, has escaped his grasp. Other things have escaped his grasp as well. In those things lies the hope for a future without tyranny: a hope for the peoples of Ruin Mist; and to win freedom is to win the future for everyone and everything.But what of the elves far across the great sea? Is their hope folly and their folly hope? If men succumb to the darkness, the light of the elves must surely succumb as well, and then darkness will rule forever. Who can know for certain, but surely the fallen sons of ages past and present must have the final say.Get ready to enter In the Service of Dragons, Book Four.Books #1 - #4 in the series are also available, as is the sequel series, the Guardians of the Dragon Realms."Robert Stanek is one of our most featured and respected Kids & Young Adults authors." -- The Audio Book Store"A breathtaking world and an excellent epic fantasy series!

"Word of mouth turned it into a bestseller. Very satisfying."-- The Fantasy GuideThe sequel to the #1 Fiction bestseller!IN THE SERVICE OF DRAGONS #3 continues the epic fantasy adventure which began with IN THE SERVICE OF DRAGONS #1.In an age lost to myth and memory, a race of supreme giants known as titans ruled over all the lands of Ruin Mist from their homes on Over-Earth. Without question, titans were the masters of the gates. They moved freely between realms and across lands.Darkness came to mark the end of the age of the titans as surely as there was ever light at the beginning. During this time of darkness, known as the Great Purge, it was the greatest of all titans, Ky'el, who gave men, elves, and dwarves their freedom. By the end of the purge, the only known gate to Over-Earth was sealed for all time, ushering in a new beginning. A new age. An age of men, elves, and dwarves.After countless wars waged against themselves, each other, and the other races, men, elves, and dwarves settled into an uneasy pace within their divided lands. In time, like the titans before them, dwarves became folk of myth and legend, leaving only absence like a darkness where once there had been a great presence and a light.The age of men and elves had arrived, its arrival marked by the coming of the great war. Some would call this war Dnyarr's war after the 11th king who started it. Others would call it the War of the Thousand Year Siege. Those who fought and died would call it the War of Ten Million Tears. Victory for men above all others brought little joy even though it ushered in a new age. The age of men.There are some who fear this age to be Ruin Mist's last. For if men succumb to darkness, there will be no beginning, and darkness will surely rule forever. It is in this time at the twilight of the age of men that those long lost have returned to thwart the darkness. They are the fallen sons of ages past and present. They are the keepers, the watchers, and the guardians. They are those who hold the key to Ruin Mist's future.Get ready to enter In the Service of Dragons, Book Three.Books #1 - #4 in the series are also available, as is the sequel series, the Guardians of the Dragon Realms."Robert Stanek is one of our most featured and respected Kids & Young Adults authors." -- The Audio Book Store"A breathtaking world and an excellent epic fantasy series!
