Book: After the Great War that divided the peoples, the kingdoms of
men plunged into a Dark Age that lasted 500 years. To heal the
lands and restore the light, the great kings decreed that magic and
all that is magical, be it creature, man, or device, shall be
cleansed to dust. The cleansing raged for so long that no human
could recall a time without it and it is in this time that the Dark
Lord Sathar returned from the dark beyond. The one hope of the
peoples of Ruin Mist was Queen Mother, the elf queen of old. She
saw a way out of everlasting darkness, a path that required the
union of the divided peoples. And so it began.

Book: A dark shadow has been cast across the known lands. War
sweeps through the divided nations of men and elves. There is great
despair for the future of men, for if the greatest of all kingdoms
can fail there can be no hope in tomorrow's tomorrow for any man in
any land. Yet there is deeper despair amongst the elven peoples
where for the first time in recorded history the elves of the West
and East are at war with each other. In such a dark time, there can
be little hope, and yet there are those who do hold out hope. Hope
that the righteous and just will prevail. Hope that tomorrow's
tomorrow will bring a better day. But turning back the tides is as
unlikely as turning back time. What's done is done. The Alder King
is dead, murdered by his enemies-the very enemies that have taken
the heart of his kingdom and with it the kingdom itself. There can
be no doubt that an enemy king has extended his reach and taken the
prize he so coveted. Yet the thing he prized above all else-the
thing that spurned him-has escaped his grasp. Other things have
escaped his grasp as well. In those things lies the hope for a
future without tyranny-a hope for the peoples of Ruin Mist; and to
win freedom is to win the future for everyone and everything. But
what of the elves far across the great sea? Is their hope folly and
their folly hope? If men succumb to the darkness, the light of the
elves must surely succumb as well, and then darkness will rule
forever. Who can know for certain, but surely the fallen sons of
ages past and present must have the final say. Get ready to enter

Book: In an age long since lost to myth and memory, a race of
supreme giants known as titans ruled over all the lands of Ruin
Mist from their homes on Over-Earth. Without question, titans were
the masters of the gates. They moved freely between realms and
across lands. Darkness came to mark the end of the age of the
titans as surely as there was ever light at the beginning. During
this time of darkness, known as the Great Purge, it was the
greatest of all titans, Ky'el, who gave men, elves, and dwarves
their freedom. By the end of the purge, the only known gate to
Over-Earth was sealed for all time, ushering in a new beginning. A
new age. An age of men, elves, and dwarves. After countless wars
waged against themselves, each other, and the other races, men,
elves, and dwarves settled in to an uneasy peace within their
divided lands. In time, like the titans before them, dwarves became
folk of myth and legend, leaving only absence like a darkness where
once there had been a great presence and a light. The age of men
and elves had arrived, its arrival marked by the coming of the
Great War. Some would call this war Dnyarr's war after the elven
king who started it. Others would call it the War of the Thousand
Year Siege. Those who fought and died would call it the War of Ten
Million Tears. Victory for men above all others brought little joy
even though it ushered in a new age. The age of men. There are some
who fear this age to be Ruin Mist's last. For if men succumb to
darkness, there will be no beginning, and darkness will surely rule
forever. It is in this time at the twilight of the age of men that
those long lost have returned to thwart the darkness. They are the
fallen sons of ages past and present. They are the keepers, the
watchers, and the guardians. They are those who hold the key to
Ruin Mist's future. Get ready to enter In the Service of Dragons

Book: Dark change is sweeping over the lands of Ruin Mist. An
ancient evil has returned from the dark past, and the dark forces
gather. War comes to the lands as the queen of the elves foretold.
Though despair abounds and evil seeks to reign, there is hope.
Queen Mother sees hope through a union of the divided peoples: an
alliance of men and elves to fight against the forces of darkness.
But between men and elves there is no love and little trust. Only
truth and faith can guide their destinies. In the Kingdoms, old
hatreds have returned and a greedy king lusts for power. Prince
Valam, with the help of the elves, saved Great Kingdom from
destruction by the mighty forces of King Jarom but not before the
city of Alderan was burned to ashes. Now Prince Valam must journey
to East Reach, land of the elves, to help save the elves from a war
such as never before seen in the lands: a war between elves, a war
for the future of the elven kingdoms. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to
them all, the early battles for Ruin Mist's future against the
coming darkness have already been fought. These battles, won at
great cost and by the barest of margins, were meant to divert
attention from what Noman, the mysterious Keeper of the City of the
Sky, can only guess at as he works to gather the company he
believes holds the key to Ruin Mist's future. Will the kingdoms of
men and elves fall? Will the peoples succumb to the darkness? Who
will live? Who will die? The answers are in Book Two of In the
Service of Dragons.

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.
