The Crown of Fire

Twenty-two thousand years before the present day, a young gold-dragon was born, a queen with enough courage and ambition to change her world forever. All she has known, all anyone has known for years has been war. Since the time dragons crawled on four legs to the time they stood on two, the ten dragon tribes of the ancient world Ilorelon have fought each other. Queen Valor is ready for peace, but when she brings the leaders of each dragon nation together in an attempt to unify them, her dream becomes more and more distant. The dragons are not only divided by the colour of their scales, but also by their ideologies, ideologies entrenched deep within them. The task is daunting, but Valor is determined. Can one dragon unite them all? An enchanting, powerful story told through the writings of one of Ilorelon's leading historians, The Crown of Fire is the first book in The Empire of Dragons series.
