The Azure Arrow

Norvander: a world where the marvels of magic and machinery go hand in hand, and dragons share the skies with airships.

In this world of wonder, Athelia's life is remarkably ordinary. The daughter of a blacksmith, her only adventure is through the dusty books of her castle's library. Yet, her tale is about to take a turn for the extraordinary.

When agents of a dark power attack her castle in an explosive aerial assault, she discovers that a secret power courses through her veins: she can craft Dragonscier, a metal infused with the raw might of the dragons. It is a power that could unite the known lands or destroy them.

Armed only with her wits, her bow, and a knack for mechanics, Athelia finds herself swept up in a race against time to unravel the mystery of the power within her, one that will see her cross mountains, oceans and skies. She is joined by Ronzo, a dashing thief with a dark secret, and Aegeus, a half-dragon warrior charged with protecting the people of Norvander. Together they will learn that heroes are not born. They are forged.

A grand tale of adventure, intrigue, and romance, readers who enjoyed the action of Sherwood by Megan Spooner the epic fantasy of the Shannara series by Terry Brooks, and the swashbuckling humour of William Goldman's The Princess Bride, will feel right at home alongside Athelia, Ronzo and Aegeus as they cross swords with stalwart enemies, soar through the skies in grand airships, and fight to stop a rising tide of evil that threatens to engulf the land.
