Welcome back to Indie November! We're looking at self-published authors who deserve more fame and recognition. This is the Songs of Chaos series by Michael R Miller.
Holt Cook is a servant working for the Dragon Riders, and he puts up with a lot of flack from their arrogance. Until he learns a dark secret; dragons kill their own young if they are not born perfect. Moved by pity, Holt steals a dragon egg to save it from a cruel death. That's how he meets Ash, a blind dragon.
This epic high fantasy takes a concept we're familiar with, and goes in an exciting new direction. We talk about multiple bad guys in morally complex world, and good characters struggling to remain good. Hope you enjoy!
