Dragonslayer

Once a member of the King's personal guard, Guillot dal Villevaurais spends most days drinking and mourning his wife and child. He's astonished - and wary - when the Prince Bishop orders him to find and destroy a dragon. He and the Prince Bishop have never exactly been friends and Gill left the capitol in disgrace five years ago. So why him? And, more importantly, how is there a dragon to fight when the beasts were hunted to extinction centuries ago by the ancient Chevaliers of the Silver Circle?

On the way to the capitol city, Gill rescues Solène, a young barmaid, who is about to be burned as a witch. He believes her innocent... but she soon proves that she has plenty of raw, untrained power, a problem in this land, where magic is forbidden. Yet the Prince Bishop believes magic will be the key to both destroying the dragon and replacingthe young, untried King he pretends to serve with a more pliable figurehead.

Between Gill's rusty swordsmanship and Solene's unstable magic, what could go wrong?

Knight of the Silver Circle

From the author of the beloved Society of Sword and Wolf of the North trilogies, Duncan M. Hamilton's Knight of the Silver Circle - the sequel adventure-packed fantasy to Dragonslayer in The Last Dragonslayer trilogy - is perfect for fans of magical beasts and unexpected heroes

Three dragons wreak havoc throughout Mirabay - eating livestock, killing humans, and burning entire villages to ash. It was nearly impossible to kill one, using a legendary sword and the magic of the mysterious Cup; to tackle three, Guillot dal Villerauvais will need help.

The mage Solène fears having to kill again; she leaves Gill to gain greater control over her magic.

The Prince Bishop still wants Gill dead, but more than that, he wants the Cup, and he'll do whatever he has to to get it, even sending his own daughter - a talented thief and assassin - into the dragons' path.

As secrets mount on secrets and betrayals on betrayals, both Guillot and Solène face critical decisions that will settle not only their own fate but that of all Mirabaya.

Servant of the Crown

Reluctant heroes, powerful magics, deadly dragons; conspiracy and betrayal; great secrets revealed - the stunning conclusion of The Dragonslayer trilogy!

Like Dragonslayer and Knight of the Silver Circle, Servant of the Crown is an exciting addition to the heroic fantasy tradition of Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, and Robert Jordan. Mixing swordplay and magic with compelling characters who are searching for meaning in their lives, the Dragonslayer trilogy comes to a thrilling conclusion.

Swordsman and noble, Guillot dal Villerauvais, has turned his life around since a dragon destroyed his village, but that may not enable him to defeat the Prince Bishop, who has found the great magical power he craved for so long. Gill's surprising ally, the dragon Pharadon, on a quest of his own, discovers that dragons are not the only magical creatures in the land. Solène has come to fear her own magic but will not turn away when her friends are in danger.
