Lair of the Pirate King
Book One of the White Knight Chronicles
by Ray Morand


One moment, in the merchant city of the Black Gate, next shanghaied and manacled to an oar on a pirate’s slave ship.

Who is the mysterious paladin, Lady Shanna, who appears much older and experienced for someone of her youthful appearance? What of the diminutive mage, Danielle, who controls the elements as if second nature? The quiet elf, Lord Eloy of the Three Rivers, who seems to defer to the paladin as if he has known her his whole life? The suspicious dark-clad human, Olson, who is obviously a warrior but calls himself a merchant, and his barbarian companion, Hvothar? Then of course, the two dwarves from Ironrock Keep. A warrior, Gilaim, and his cousin, the Healer Baldor, who is on his Journeyman quest.

Seven adventurers, thrown together by mere chance and with their own secrets to keep, decide to team up to find and destroy a great evil that had been preying on those who lived among the Islands and eastern Kingdom of the Rose Throne. An evil that now prevents the new group of companions from returning to their homeland across the pirate-controlled sea.

Captain Isobel of the Scaled Fist and former Judicator for the Kingdom of Niadhardal was not sure who she was anymore. Why did her own people attack her? Is she a traitor involved in the Black Guard’s plot to destroy those she vowed to protect? Is Sir Victor alive and plotting the overthrow of the Kingdom of Niadhardal? And what of Gunther, does he plan revenge for her betrayal? The only one she can rely on seems to be her dragon, Stormchaser, but because of her reputation as the Red Knight, she now has Dwarven dragon hunters, spectres, and a Ludnikan necromancer all hunting her down to learn the secret of dragon domestication.

Dragon Speaker
Book Five of the Red Knight Chronicles
by Ray Morand


Gunther has returned from the Northern Tribes and has brought back with him a woman he says is Conor’s long-lost cousin, Evelyn. In addition to being a warrior-mage, Evelyn has the uncanny ability to communicate with any dragon, wild or domestic. Evfimi doesn’t seem to trust the new recruit, and Akulina finds something strangely familiar about the dragon speaker, especially the way everyone seems to be eerily captivated by her – Scaled Fist, Nexus, the Elven Queen, and even the supposedly still grieving, Gunther.
