“If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. In RISE OF THE DRAGONS Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us … us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.”

The #1 Bestseller!
From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a sweeping new epic fantasy series: RISE OF THE DRAGONS (KINGS AND SORCERERS—Book 1).
Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is.
Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever.
15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever.
With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.
Book #2 in KINGS AND SORCERERS is also now available!
“RISE OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist’s struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”

Great plot, good world building, interesting ideas. BUT it needs some polish! My editor’s heart wanted to go to town on this little potential gem. With some more work, this could be really great!
Hard to put down. Keep wondering if anyone will survive.
Really good simple read. Very enjoyable, enough so that I bought the sequel, which I seldom ever do.
Loved the action & adventure. Got the 2nd book in the series right away
This book sets the stage for the five or six books that come after it. Be prepared to read the series, otherwise you will simply be introduced to the cast of characters.
I like books about dragons
This book was really good. Good plot. Tho’ unrelistic I love books with a happy ending..
Haven’t finished it yet, BUT DO want to throw out my house guests so I can!!
I loved the characters in this book. I wouldn’t say that it was extraordinary or mind-blowing, but it had me hooked from the beginning to the end. My only real complaint is that I wish it had more dragons in it. There’s probably a total of three pages in the entire book that featured a dragon and that’s it, so the title is a little misleading.
First book of the series Kings and Sorcerers and I was hooked. The six book series was well written and fun to read.
I love Morgan Rice. The author truly understands the fantasy genre. All of her novels have intriguing characters and gripping plot lines. This one was no exception. The author has the ability to weave a web that holds you tight until the last page.
It’s awesome. I love her books. This entire series Sorcerer’s Ring (17 books) is awesome! The characters, the twisted plots, everything about it is incredibly-well done!
