award-winning, international best-selling author of more than 65
books for young people and adults. He lives with his wife and
children in the Pacific Northwest in the United States, and is
intensely fascinated with our natural world. He loves the outdoors
and frequently takes his family on short trips to see the natural
wonders of the Pacific Northwest, including Mount Rainier, Mount
St. Helens, the Columbia River Gorge, and Puget Sound. About the
Book: In the Service of Dragons is the continuation of Robert
Stanek's multilayered epic fantasy adventure for young adults that
began with The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches and continued
through The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches 2, 3, and 4. In
his acclaimed The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches books, he
introduced us to the story of Ruin Mist, an extraordinary world of
magic, adventure, and intrigue. Now in the eagerly awaited
follow-up, he once again proves himself a wonderful storyteller
with a gift for fast pacing and believable storylines. Already
hailed as a classic, Robert Stanek's powerful series has been
enjoyed by readers all over the world. The Elves of the Reaches
returned from exile, bringing grave news. War came to the Kingdoms,
and many perished in the turmoil and unrest. An attempt was made to
kidnap a princess and assassinate a king. Now, from the ancient
past a dark power returns. "The Fourth Wind blows across the
mountain tops," they say. And the Twelve Clans emerge from myth and
memory. As prophecy becomes reality, the factions struggle for
control only to further divide the lands. Some would say that it
was foolish for King Andrew Alder to support the Elves of the
Reaches and send men to aid their cause when Men in all lands were
being put to the test of steel. And in the North, men back their
words with action. Against a backdrop of treachery and intrigue,
murder and mayhem, the price of freedom is high. Many will pay with
their lives. Many will succumb to imprisonment and enslavement; for
when alliances shatter, old hatreds rise anew and the plotting and
scheming begin. Bold, inventive, brilliantly imagined, In the
Service of Dragons is a novel of magic and wonder-a tale of pure
excitement you will not soon forget.
