What value is freedom when you can’t even ride a dragon? The Complete Story...

As the life of a slave goes, Kantees doesn't have it too bad. Being responsible for a racing dragon means her existence is more than just drudgery and fear, even if her life is at the whim of her masters and their rules.

But when her dragon wakes her in the middle of the night Kantees is forced to make a life-or-death decision that breaks her masters’ rules and means her own life is forfeit.

Escaping on the back of dragons, with a hodgepodge of unwelcome associates, she attempts to right a wrong that can never be fixed. Until, ultimately, she must put her own life on the line to keep the freedom she has stolen for herself.

The Dragons of Esternes Epic fantasy series in one volume.

Interview with the Author


Q - So, what makes the Dragons of Esternes series special?

A - I don't think there's just one thing that sets them apart because what I wanted to do was to write the kind of book that I like to read when it comes to fantasy. My favourites usually involve dragons and my first read was Anne McCaffreys' Dragonriders of Pern, though movies like Dragonheart and Dragonslayer certainly appealed to me too.

Of course the Dragonflight books aren't technically fantasy but in a similar way the Patterners World, which is where these books are set, also have a very strong scientific background, although in this case it really is pure fantasy.

I don't like books with padding, to be honest, I don't think anyone does. That's one thing you won't find here. The stories are taut and fast-paced, they will keep you turning the pages - there's never a dull moment.

Then with a POC lead character and a wealth of interesting supporting characters, plus a unique take on Dragons themselves I don't think there's much not to like.

Q - What order should I read the books in?

A - There's just the four books and this is the order:

- Rebel Dragon
- Outlaw Dragon
- Heretic Dragon
- Battle Dragon

There is a prequel "Racing Dragon" but that's only available to my newsletter subscribers.

Q - So, who should give these books a try?

A - Anyone who wants a unique approach to fantasy, in a world that is both familiar and utterly different. But ultimately anyone who loved Anne McCaffrey's Pern books, Anne McCaffrey, Christopher Paolini's Eragon series, or writers like Naomi Novik and Robin Hobb. Or maybe they just want to have their own dragons like Daenerys Targaryen.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When he's not sitting at his computer building websites for national institutions and international companies, USA Today Bestselling author Steve Turnbull can be found sitting at his computer building new worlds of steampunk, science fiction and fantasy.

Technically Steve was born a cockney but after five years he was moved out from London to the suburbs where he grew up and he talks posh now. He's been a voracious reader of science fiction and fantasy since his early years, but it was poet Laurie Lee's autobiography "Cider with Rosie" (picked up because he was bored in Maths) that taught him the beauty of language and spurred him into becoming a writer, aged 15. He spent twenty years editing and writing for computer magazines while writing poetry on the side.

Nowadays he writes screenplays (TV and features), prose and computer programs.

Their is nothing more enjoyable for me than a main character discovering themselves and their pivotal place in their world. This series has all that right pieces. The heroine thrust upon a path by one despairate choice and the consequences that sweep her away on a journey she could never imagine. I was always curious to know what would happen next. And even at the last line in the last book I am ready for more.

A glossary would help. The world building introduces a seemingly infinite number of strange beings. I had trouble keeping track of them, and searched in vain for a glossary.

Fun, exciting, great world building and character development. I could see the story unfold the way I thought it would, but that did not detract from my enjoyment.

Kanees lives a quiet, but fulfilling life, never knowing that it's going to be her destiny to try and change the world. One night, a demanding dragon forces her to action, trying to save her home from an attacking army. And everything changes.

The first book was a bit slow, but the pace picked up and the four-book series turned into a very enjoyable read. I liked the characters, the plot twists, and the fast-paced action.

Give it a try!

Really enjoyed the story line. Characters were well rounded. Quirky, funny , serious, imperious. The one problem I had were the creatures. They all had names as to what there were but couldn't be identified. I have no idea of what was attacking during the series
