Nothing survives the fog…

…at least that’s what they thought.

Would the exception mean the destruction of the Kingdom?

He saw her walk in and knew something was wrong. Marl hadn’t seen his sister-in-law since his wife and daughter’s funeral. She blamed herself, but Marl knew it was his fault. If he hadn’t roped Elora into going after that young dragon, well, things would be different.

The life he’d built at his little tavern hadn’t healed his pain.

Could he find redemption, or did he need revenge?

Elora said, “He’s back.”

Marl asked, “How?”

“Flew out of the fog. You better get your gear.”

In a world shielded from invaders for centuries and lulled into a false sense of security, only two people truly understood the danger. Who will stand by their side?

You’ll love this new adventure, because everyone has regrets and yearns for a chance to fix the past.

Get it now.

"The opening chapter hooked me. A clever start to an exciting new fantasy series. Meeks tells a good story." -Kevin J. Anderson (NY Times Bestselling author of Star Wars: Jedi Search and Dune: House Atreides.)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Brian D. Meeks is an author who writes under his name and the pen name Arthur Byrne.

He discovered a knack for weaving tales quite by accident on Jan 2, 2010, and has been writing every day since. Becoming a novelist has changed his life.

As of September, 2015, Brian has written and published eleven novels and one non-fiction title.

His first novels were the books in the Henry Wood Detective series. After that, he wrote a thriller called A Touch to Die For and a YA titled Secret Doors: The Challenge. During this time he also maintained the blog that started it all, ExtremelyAverage.com.

One reader of the blog asked why he hadn't written anything more snarky, since there were often piles of snark in his blagh posts. Brian didn't have a good answer and so Arthur Byrne was born.

Arthur Byrne started out as the protagonist in Brian's first satire, Underwood, Scotch, and Wry. He became a pen name with the release of Killing Hemingway and later wrote the first trilogy in a new science fiction series, The Magellan Apocalypse. Arthur also writes a lot of the snarky newsletters because Brian just can't be bothered with such things.

Brian lives in a small town in Iowa, plays tennis and golf, and loves gathering data about his books. He's a data junkie. He is also a huge fan of guinea pigs.

Pleasantly surprised by this YA epic fantasy. I’ve read more serious books by him, books that have helped me in my own writing career. Suffice it to say, this did not disappoint. :) well done!

4.0 out of 5 stars Character-Driven, Campy Epic Fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019
Is campy epic fantasy a thing? That's how this book came across to me. I don't know if you're familiar with the sequel to The Blues Brothers movie, but this reminded me somewhat of the idea of having “to get the band back together.” It is definitely character driven, and there are a LOT of characters (not always easy to keep track of them all, especially when some have similar names). An old nemesis is supposedly back, dredging up bad memories and opening old wounds as people come together to try to figure out what to do about it. The character vignettes were interesting, but I felt like the action itself was a little boring. It was more about reading about quirky characters and what they got up to as they sorted themselves out rather than a true edge-of-your-seat epic fantasy. By the way, I didn't think either the title or the cover went along with the book at all; I do like both to reflect what is in the book; they set a tone and expectations, acting as the first gatekeepers and guiding me in deciding if I want to read it. Despite all this, though, I am curious to see where the author will go with this world.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

3.0 out of 5 stars A action packed standard YA fantasy adventure
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019

For $.99 the book is worth the read. The pace of the book is very fast and sets up for the next series of books sure to follow. The dragon is slow to show, but when he does ... he's big and bad. The author uses many of the standard tropes and if you like orphans and magic you love this book.

As a Hard Epic Fantasy fan I was disappointed at the simple story which was one of the catagories listed for this book. Hence my rating. The story line is good with lots of imagination. You can tell the book was rushed to completion in a month or so to make way for the next book which adds to a bit of choppiness of the story's flow. This is evidenced by a lot of saves at the last minute that gets predictable, but the story line is good.

For YA Fantasy readers this would be an excellent series to explore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragons are scary again.
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019
Despite the fact that this book has "dragon" in the title and revolves entirely around the return of a feared dragon to a fantasy realm, the dragon itself doesn't appear very much.

And that's actually one of the best things about the book.

It's easy for dragons to "lose their teeth" (or their fire, whichever you prefer) in modern fantasy. They're everywhere, after all. Readers love them, and authors are more than happy to feature them, but as a result, they often don't come across as the terrifying beasts of legend that they once were. Over-exposure can do this to monsters of any sort in fiction.

Brian Meeks uses the clever strategy of keeping the dragon "off-camera" for much of the story and instead focusing on the impact the creature has upon the book's world and characters. This adds intriguing layers to both those elements of the story and expertly builds tension until the big showdown in the final chapters.

It's not just the dragon whom the main characters have to fear; the mere presence of the monster creates additional threats. And there are hints of an even bigger mystery as well, one which I presume will extend across the whole of the series.

The climax ticks all the right boxes and changes the rules of the game, setting the stage for future books. There's an appropriate sense of finality to the ending--it's not a total cliff-hanger--but there are just enough enticing plot threads left over to make the reader eager to continue.

A highly promising series opener that anyone looking for entertaining fantasy is sure to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome epic fantasy!
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019
It's back, and this time Marl wants to make it's the last time...

I loved this book because it proves that good story always trumps too much fluff in a book. This is a great story, that is fulled with great characters! I'm not going to reveal the story. I will say it is the perfect "the return of past evil" story, populated by characters that still remember the days of their old heroism...

...but now do they have what it takes to meet face-to-face with the evil they thought they'd defeated?

I'll say it's an unexpected journey that brings together a rag-tag band lead by Marl, to take on the evil of the past.

Pick up this book because everyone loves a tale that brings people together on a journey into the fog, to defeat evils if vfx yesterday. If you love fantasy, and dragons, and brave people doing brave things, you will love this book

4.0 out of 5 stars Dragon attacks the land
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2019
This was a fun Fantasy Adventure. The plot wasn't too original, but the author did give an original twist to it. A ragtag group of people are off on a journey to stop/defeat a dragon who's terrorizing the lands. Several of the relationships are rushed, and it feels like there hasn't been enough time with all our heroes together to really be a unified unit, but we'll see how that plays out in books to come. There are several typos throughout the book that are a minor distraction, and there's modern language in this fantasy, which can throw you off a bit. Stuff like "Okay" and "shot" the bow instead of "loose". Other than that, it was a fun book that you should check out. =)

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book…
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019
I’m sure you will too.

This is a character driven fantasy full of adventure and dragons too. The pace is perfect, you won’t have a heart attack while the suspense gets too great, but nor will you be bored for one second.

Marl, with his team of oddballs need to find and defeat the dragon, but of course life is never that simple, and things are not always as they seem. I’m not gonna tell the story, that’s what the books for, But I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

Looking forward to the next instalment with bated breath
I received an advance copy of this book.
