Bane of the Broken: 1

Dragons are real, and they serve something older... Tescalla Brynkamera follows in her father's footsteps, seeking the secrets buried within Gnar Shalla, an ancient city beyond the Endless Sands where her father vanished ten years ago. Kelton Moor has spent his life trying to earn back his father's trust, even if it means charging into certain death. Edwin Ostraken, a book-loving child of twelve who'd rather read than hunt, is sent south for a royal celebration, but finds that the monsters from his storybooks are real. None of them know that blood oaths sworn by their families centuries before have bound their fates. Now the dragons are hatching once again. They are not beasts, but harbingers, shapeshifters who wear noble faces until they choose to feed. They do not return only to gorge on flesh. They return to break the world of man and free the ancient god who made them.
