About this audiobook

Lord Aldric Thornhaven has spent his life guarding the Dragon Marches — the last line between civilization and the Scorched Wastes where dragons still rule. On his twenty-fifth nameday, everything burns. An ancient dragon believed dead for three centuries returns with an army, a grudge, and a single target: Aldric himself. When the beast speaks directly into his mind — something dragons should never be able to do — Aldric realizes the threat is far older and more personal than any border raid. Someone poisoned his wine. Someone summoned the dragons. And the enemy may be closer than the Wastes. With his betrothed Sera at his side, his castle in ruins, and a prophecy he doesn't yet understand, Aldric must uncover why the Crimson Death has waited three hundred years to settle a blood debt — before it collects. Blood and Scales is the explosive first chapter of an epic fantasy series where loyalty is a weapon and bloodlines carry power no sword can match.
