Sentenced to death. Impossible to kill.

Bershad was supposed to die. He tried to assassinate a fellow noble, so was given a harsh sentence—a command to slay dragons so his death might serve the kingdom. But for some reason, he's never lost a fight, and is now the most successful dragon-slayer in history. Yet, as a doomed man, Bershad is still shunned by both his peers and his countrymen. But that could all change.

The king who sentenced Bershad has just given him an out: Kill a foreign king and walk free forever. However, Bershad couldn't care less about the fates of kingdoms until he discovers he could save an innocent child in the process. And he might also save the life of every creature in Terra.

The first book in the stunning series, Dragons of Terra, Blood of an Exile is the spectacular, action-packed fantasy debut by Brian Naslund.

About the Author

Brian is an American fantasy author based in Boulder, CO. Blood of an Exile is his debut novel, and the first in the Dragons of Terra series. He grew up in Maryland and studied English at Skidmore College in New York. Brian is now a product director for a tech company, and first started writing about dragons to escape the crushing boredom of his incredibly long bus commute. When he's not writing, he's usually griping about video games on Twitter, hiking with his dog, Lola, or whitewater kayaking in the mountains. The last activity makes his mother very nervous.
