Bones of the Dragon

**First in a series filled with Norse-like mythology and exotic adventure in a magic-forged world, from the* ** **New York Times*** **-bestselling coauthors.** In *Bones of the Dragon* , Skylan Ivorson is a sea-raider of the Vindras and eventually becomes the Chief of Chiefs of all Vindras clans, an honor he truly feels he deserves as one who has been blessed by Skoval, the god of war. But sometimes a blessing is a curse in disguise. Skoval and the other ancient deities are under siege from a new generation of gods who are challenging them for the powers of creation . . . and the only way to stop these brash interlopers lies within the mysterious and hidden Five Bones of the Vektan Dragons. It will be up to the Vindras people, as the dragon-goddess’s champions, to undertake the quest to recover all Five. The fate of the Old Gods and the Vindras rests on their recovery—for this is not only a quest to save the world. It is also a quest for redemption. Welcome to the World of Dragonships! **“Longtime coauthors Weis and Hickman, known for their Dragonlance role-playing game and novels, the ‘Darksword’ series, and the Death Gate cycle, again demonstrate their talent for world building and for creating likable yet flawed heroes. This Norse-flavored series opener should have a large following.” —* ** **Library Journal***
