About Me

I am a brand new fantasy author from the UK, whose first novel
THE BETRAYER is due for release in July.
It is the first novel in the Prophecy of the Dragon trilogy.
Synopsis
The story follows the life of a young lad named Patain, whose family is brutally murdered. Thinking it the work of the dragon who lives in the neighbouring hills, Patain sets off to wreak his revenge. When Patain encounters the dragon Shyniarerynaugh - later called Shyne, he finds a truth more devastating than he could ever have imagined.
An extremely powerful elf mage by the name of Qua'dan'iek has created an army of reptilianites, which is sweeping through the kingdom, destroying everything in its path.
Accepting the dragon's offer to learn the art of magic, Patain sets about restoring the balance of power.
