Game of Thrones meets Gladiator in this gripping, action-packed epic fantasy debut set in a brutal world of war, dark magic and dragons

Intense, inventive and action-packed from beginning to end - a relentlessly gripping, brilliant read - James Islington, author of THE SHADOW OF WHAT WAS LOST
In a world consumed by endless war, one young man will become his people's only hope for survival.
The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable war for generations. The lucky ones are born gifted: some have the power to call down dragons, others can be magically transformed into bigger, stronger, faster killing machines.
Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war. Tau Tafari wants more than this, but his plans of escape are destroyed when those closest to him are brutally murdered.
With too few gifted left, the Omehi are facing genocide, but Tau cares only for 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.
The Rage of Dragons launches an unmissable epic fantasy series.

About the Author
Born in England to South American parents, Evan Winter was raised in Africa near the historical territory of his Xhosa ancestors. Evan has always loved fantasy novels, but when his son was born, he realised that there weren't many epic fantasy novels featuring characters who looked like him. So, before he ran out of time, he started writing them.
