Dragon Kindred
Diego Rodriguez, Michael Vincent Manalo, John Grant Bunner
Synopsis: If you are looking for another cookie-cutter fantasy book, this is not it.

Dragon Kindred is the odyssey of a Minor Noble from the Athos Empire. He
is a Legionnaire who encounters many difficult challenges in his life and
is compelled to confront the evil around him.

The story begins slowly as you are drawn into his world. There will be
sword-fighting, miracles, magic, sacrifice, escapes, monsters, slavery,
prejudice, rescues, treason, dragons, and a whole lot more. Its a fun read
for the thinking person, who enjoys stories of brave knights and heroic
courage.

Dragon Kindred is a complex story with many subplots. You will most likely
want to read it twice to fully discover the richness of the story and its
characters. Its also a great book to read aloud with younger children
chapter by chapter.

Looking for a dragon story with substance? Happy when reading a big book
that you can't put down? Do you believe in the battle of virtue against
all that is wicked?

If yes, then Dragon Kindred is for you. Enjoy.

Some doors should not be opened.
