THE RAGE OF DRAGONS

The Burning: Book 1 by Evan Winter

One of Time Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time

In a world consumed by endless war, one young man will become his people's only hope for survival.
But first — he wants revenge.

THE STORY THAT WILL CONSUME YOU

The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for generations. The lucky ones are born gifted — some can call down dragons, others are magically transformed into unstoppable killing machines.

Everyone else is fodder. Born to fight. Born to die. Destined for nothing more.

Tau Tafari wants more than this. He has plans. He has hope. Until those closest to him are brutally murdered — and everything changes.

With too few gifted left, the Omehi face genocide. But Tau cares only for one thing now.

Revenge.

Following an unthinkable path, he will strive to become the greatest swordsman to ever live — willing to die a hundred thousand times for the chance to kill three of his own people.

A people on the edge of extinction.
A warrior with nothing left to lose.
And a rage that will shake the world.
