Children Of A Legend
Word count: 156,067
Stage: Editing
Genre: Fantasy
Series: The Dragon Tamer (Book One)
Main Character: Davin Teur de'Gon
About: As a boy, Davin Teur de'Gon loved hearing the daring tales of the legendary Dragon Tamer, the only man who had been brave enough to stand against the tyranny of the evil Lord Vernd. Years later, the tales become more real to him when a simple journey to town reveals to him the truth of who he really is: the son of the Dragon Tamer. Now fatherless and hunted as a criminal, Davin embarks on a quest to fulfill the dying wish of his beloved father, a quest to find each of his five siblings who were scattered to all parts of the kingdom only a year after they were born.
Note: Completed as NaNoWriMo in April 2012; continued as NaNoWriMo for June and November of the same year. I have discovered that this will be a series, as the story is much too long for a single book.
