Tides of Blood and War (A Time of Dragons: Book 4)

Using magic he once learned from his master, Barad-Agin, and a red dragon scale belonging to Herragax, Skara made a cauldron of the Padoshi, his life force and blood a key ingredient. This resulted in calamity, tearing a rift between Rider and dragon, for Joran began to adopt the new creed: To have unwavering conviction. Pushing through her own injury, the young dragon was now pressing against his back with a hiss for their enemy. On the nights he dared entertain the wildest of dreams, he broke the curse of his bloodline and, finally, wielded a blade of steel in battle, a wraith on the field.
