Survivors called it the ‘apocalypse’—nine billion people killed in an afternoon.Then the dragons revealed themselves, burning huge swaths of what remained, taunting and mocking and murdering the survivors.Four leaders arose: The Wizard, the Dragon Rider, the Monk, and the Dragon Slayer. Allied with the rebel dragon, they waged war for years until they too were defeated, scattered, or killed.When the war ended, only one dragon remained … but that single dragon was enough to plunge the world into tyranny.The Dragon's Egg is the first book in the post-apocalyptic, epic fantasy series--The Dragonfall Trilogy.
