Fragment of Flame (Drift and Dragon Book 1)

From assassin to protector. From weapon to shield. For three years, Callen Nasinth has hidden in a quiet village, forging tools by day and guarding a woman and child he was once hired to kill. Known once as Nightshade, elite assassin of the Black Veil, he’s buried that past deep. But when a mysterious merchant arrives bearing a fragment of dragon eggshell, long-dormant powers stir—within the world, and within Callen. The fragment awakens a rare magic tied to the drift—an ancient sense allowing him to feel the world’s energy, and fracture it. Then Nora is taken. To save the girl who’s become like a daughter, Callen must reclaim the deadly skills he abandoned—and face the assassin order that made him what he is. Worse still, his former mentor has begun harnessing dragon fragments for weapons of war. As Callen’s bond to the drift deepens, one truth becomes undeniable: Somewhere, a dragon lives. And it’s calling to him. FRAGMENT OF FLAME is the first book in Drift and Dragon, a gripping tale of redemption, hidden magic, and found family—perfect for fans of Brent Weeks, Robin Hobb, and Michael J. Sullivan. View Less
