Indeed that violation threatens more than policy and order it threatens the peaceful existence of the human race.Man's only hope and his greatest threat isThe Dragon's SonTwins born out of violence and raised apart.Ven (short for Vengeance) is raised in seclusion under the watchful eye of his deceased mother's Amazonian lover. He is a child whose appearance belies his heritage - half-man/ half-dragon.Marcus is raised in a court, and given all of the protections and breeding that would entail. He appears to be completely human, yet his psychic link with the brother he has never known betrays the dragon magic that lies within him.It is up to the dragon emissary who passes himself off as a man, Draconas, to protect them both before the internecine struggle destroys the Parliament of Dragons and brings an oppressive reign of fire down upon all mortal men.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

"The bones for a good story are made in these pages. It's a good tale, but a daunting read. The author, in my opinion, provides too much description. There is little dialect and a lot of narrative. Due to the format in which it's written, dialect is not a given but I feel there should be more to show the interaction between the characters rather than flat out say what is happening and what they're thinking.
This is book 2 in what appears to be a trilogy. This is something I did not know heading into this story, and even with that lack of knowledge, all questions I had were answered. I will read the predecessor to confirm, but I have suspicion to believe it is not necessary to read it to enjoy this tale."
