The Dragon’s Castle

A new fantasy-romance adventure from the multi-award winning author of Under The Shadow Of Darkness.
Bel, a wizard’s apprentice, accompanies his master to the capital city to help negotiate a truce between warring kingdoms, but he finds much more than he bargained for. Shireen, Bel’s long lost love, is there and their romance is quickly rekindled. There’s only one problem with that though--magicians are to remain celibate under penalty of excommunication. It is the trade that every wizard must make; to join the royal priesthood and become a magician one must forsake all relationships and sacrifice love to gain knowledge. Are they strong enough to give each other up once again?
It’s a fantasy tale that sizzles, sparkles and pops with energy, ingenuity, imagination, and a wonderfully heightened sense of adventure.
In dragon’s castle all is not what it seems. Gedd, a fellow wizard from a neighboring kingdom, seems to know just a little too much about how and why the kingdoms are at war. Is he influencing the kings to attack? The avians and the birds they control are everywhere. The avians have not forgotten their losses at the hands of the Greenland warriors and the Eastern Forest Kingdom is pushing to expand. The forest is full of adversaries, each having different motivations and goals. Yet one thing they all have in mind, to conquer the capital city.
An award winning, young adult, action packed, fantasy romance adventure that will keep readers guessing as mystery after mystery unfolds.
All Bel wants to do is train under his master. He just acquired a full wizard’s staff, at great difficulty, so he has no interest in going off on some boring trek to negotiate a truce. But when they arrive, all is not what it seems. He finds that Shireen is apprentice under Meetta and Bel can’t keep his eyes off his former love. His master seems to have a strange, hypnotic attraction for Meetta, but that couldn’t be right, could it? Wizards aren’t allowed! A fellow wizard, Gedd, from a neighboring kingdom seems to know just a little too much about how and why the kingdoms are at war. Is he influencing them? The avians and the birds they control are everywhere. What do they seek? Readers everywhere are calling it "compelling," "amazing" and a "story that draws you in and sweeps you off your feet."
This young adult, fantasy romance adventure is told from the perspective of Bel, Shireen, Meetta and Nes’egrinon, the two apprentices and their two masters as they each try to figure out what is going on as the kingdoms stagger-step close and closer to war, while trying to sort out their intense feelings for each other.
Bel and Shireen fall in love all over again and it is only after they come to this stark realization that they don’t know what to do about it. It is the trade that every wizard must make. To become a magician one must forsake all relationships; give up love to gain knowledge. What choice will Bel and Shireen make? Are they strong enough? Can they give each other up? Should they?
