Following the harrowing events that
brought them to Landale Forest, Jace and Kyrin have settled comfortably into
their new lives and the mission of protecting those under the emperor’s
persecution. The fast approach of winter brings with it the anticipation of a
quiet few months ahead. That is until the arrival of four mysterious,
dragon-riding cretes who seek aid in a mission of great importance—not only to
their own people, but to all followers of Elôm.
Hidden in the vast mining valley
north of Valcré, a faithful crete has spent years sharing his knowledge with the
destitute miners and their families and is known to possess what may be
Arcacia’s last surviving copies of the King’s Scrolls—the Word of Elôm. Joining
the cretes, those in Landale must find the crete teacher and bring him to
safety, but it is a race against time. Should Daican’s men find him first,
execution and the destruction of the Scrolls is certain.

Here is an excerpt from The King's Scrolls!!!!! (This is so exciting!)
The other younger crete took a swig of his coffee and set
his eyes past her. Kyrin peeked over her shoulder at Kaden who, of course, was
staring at the dragon. The female creature stared back in mutual interest.
“Go ahead,” the crete said suddenly. “You can touch her. She
loves attention, and she’ll only attack if I tell her to.” A sly glint sparkled
in his spring-green eyes.
Besides Jace, Kyrin had never seen anyone with such bright
and colorful eyes as these cretes.
Kaden looked at him, his brows rising. “You can do that?”
The crete nodded. “Dragons are highly intelligent. You can
teach them almost any command. Storm here is young, but she learns fast.”
Kyrin smiled at the delight in her brother’s eyes as he
stepped closer to the dragon and ran his hand over her bluish-gray neck scales.
A grin split his face.
“She’s so smooth. Kyrin, come and feel it.”
Kyrin stepped to his side and laid her hand on the dragon.
The scales were indeed very smooth, reminding her of the polished marble
stair-railings in Auréa Palace, but they weren’t cold. Warmth radiated through
them. The dragon, still watching them, let out a little rumble, almost like a
giant cat’s purr.
“I told you she liked attention,” the crete said, grinning.
Kyrin chuckled and glanced at Jace to see if he wanted to
touch the dragon, but he made no move to come closer. This certainly had more
to do with the crete than the dragon. He was very fond of any type of animal.
She faced the crete again.
“So they can breathe fire?”
“For short bursts,
but that’s usually all it takes to deter any threat.”
“That’s incredible,” Kaden breathed.
While he continued admiring Storm, Kyrin observed the
dragon’s rider. He appeared to be in his early to mid-twenties—about ten years
younger than Captain Darq—though his exact age was impossible to guess. Cretes
were said to mature faster than humans, so he could be anywhere from seventeen
to twenty-five. He too wore a sleeveless jerkin. Brown tattoos, a little darker
than his skin, marked both shoulders. Darq and the other cretes had them as
well, but Kyrin hadn’t taken a good look at them until now. This man’s were a
complicated pattern of spirals and dots, but the shape of a fox stood out in
the center of his right shoulder.
Though she tried to be discreet, he
must have caught her studying him and suddenly extended his hand to her. “I’m
Talas, by the way. Talas Folkan of the Fox Clan.”
