the Shadow of Berg

Life is grim in Rakksberg thanks in part to the Black Blades. These assassins lurk in the shadows, taking on contracts to kill for the highest bidder, and Chase is one of their deadliest members. But when a strange summons from a mysterious source leads to his exile, Chase does the only thing he can think of doing. He goes looking for answers. With the help of his friend, Richard, the pair embark on a quest that soon lands them in a strange world filled with magic. To make matters worse, Chase is plagued by endless nightmares that threaten to consume his mind. But it will be all worth it in the end, because Chase has been granted a gift that's not been seen in generations--a dragonmark. Will Chase find his dragon and become the first dragon rider in over a century? Or will the dangers of Rhy'lar take him first? If Chase has any hope of seeing his quest to the end, he'll need all his skills and the help of all his friends to get there.
