Armies are gathering but Astalus, the Thracian court wizard, is in a quandary as to who to trust. Shocking news has arrived from an unlikely source. A spy, arrested brazenly entering the city, claims to be a prince from an extinct royal household, a household that was overthrown, the family members murdered over sixty years ago. Intriguingly, the spy’s claim to be from Allund is more than a coincidence, for the army marching against them is also from Allund. Who indeed to trust? The stranger brings with him news of an army from Trosgarth, which can only mean one thing. Drachar’s shade has been summoned and the Prophecy is coming to pass. Old alliances are broken and many monarchs slain. No sign yet exists of the king predicted by the Prophecy, who will save them all. Astalus, normally so certain and confident, is suddenly plummeted into his worst nightmare, for soon Thrace could be threatened by demons and, against them, there is no salvation. In a land fraught with betrayal, fear and death, the shadows are deepening.
Prologue
A cloaked figure, garbed in black with a hood drawn across its eyes, stared around at the cave. It was warm and dry, ideal for the Ritual. Black boots crushed the dry leaves that carpeted the cavern floor. The torrent outside continued as though even the Gods wept. His yellow eyes glinting feverishly; he beckoned to his companion, his hands almost claw-like with long dirt-brown nails. Another cloaked figure entered the cave, taller and broader than the first man. Behind him came a third figure, shorter, more youthful, eyes flickering about the cave in mistrust.
“Come, come,” said the first man, waving his arm impatiently. His frown suggested he was not a patient man. “We must hurry if we are to perform the Ritual before dawn. Darren, do not be a slouch and hurry up.”
The youth paused, anger flashing in his eyes. “Kryan, do not take that tone with me. I volunteered for this, remember.”
Kryan tried to conceal his smile. Since when did a four year old boy volunteer? That was Darren’s age when he was snatched from his village ten years ago and, since then, the boy’s training had been intense. But whatever was certain, he was no volunteer.
Gallan was reverently placing candles about the cave. The big man’s frown was one of intense concentration. Soon a gentle light illuminated the interior revealing scar-ravaged walls, boulders strewn about the cavern floor and dark, sinister looking recesses where even the light seemed afraid to penetrate.
Kryan liked Gallan; he was the silent type who just got on with jobs. He hated people who blathered, especially those with nothing much to say. Kryan breathed in the dry air, scenting the years of accumulated dust. The cave was ancient, just what they needed to summon the spirits of the dead. Kryan turned just as Gallan was handing him a knife. The weapon was silver and the hilt inlaid with gold wire. An expensive item, but Ryoch demanded no less. Kryan took the weapon and turned to Darrell.
Darrell was shaking and his brown eyes looked uncertain. His earlier bravado was gone and he now looked his fourteen years.
“Your shaol is strong, Darrell. You do not need to be afraid,” Kryan said with just a hint of condemnation in his voice, deliberately bridling the younger man.
Darrell’s fear vanished and anger blossomed behind his eyes. “I told you, old man,” he sneered. “Watch your tone or it will be you lying on the ground and not I.”
Inside Kryan laughed. He cast Gallan a look and saw that the other man understood. Darrell’s training had been superb; arrogance would force him to do what they wanted. Arrogance and the belief in Ryoch, his god.
“My apologies, Darrell. You are correct, and I have overstepped myself. Now come here and kneel,” Kryan said, bowing ever so slightly in mock respect.
Darrell’s eyes hardened and Kryan sensed his growing rebellion.

Dragon Rider Prophecy of the Kings Book 2 eBook David Burrows Reviews
The trio who were on a journey together in book one of the Prophecy of the Kings trilogy are now split apart, as one of the members betrays the others. Fortunately, a new member of the group was picked up late in the game in the last book, so the one bad seed is replaced with an excellent addition to the crew, Lomar, an albino with some magical abilities. However, due to the trechery that ended the last volume, the group finds that they have been frozen in time - when they awake it is sixty years later, their loved ones have died, and the world as they know it looks very different. No longer an overall peaceful place, allies are at war and an old enemy threatens to make the most of the disunity.
Quote "the battle to defeat Drachar was long ago and is now nothing more than a memory. The people want to believe Drachar was destroyed, never to return. My concern though is that Drachar was only defeated because of the Eldric and their Narlassar sorcery."
This book has none of the slow start that I complained about with the first volume. It picks up immediately with the heroes in danger, suffering a bizarre fate. Once they realize the consquences of their betrayal, they have to put the pieces together and figure out how to move forward. I thought this was the most fast moving book of the triology, and the one I could least put down.
Prophecy of Kings Trilogy Book Two Dragon Rider
David Burrows
When waking up from a deep sleep most of us would try and shake off the tired feeling, wash our faces and try to refresh ourselves and figure out why we slept so long. But, when Kaplyn, Lars and Lomar are awakened from what they thought was a few hours or days rest, they are struck by the remarkable changes within each of them, their surroundings and the person that caused them to be able to reenter the world. The site of Tumarl was quite compelling and their awareness of what really happened to them, Vastra's betrayal and where they go from next quite compelling. In a world filled with wizards, dragons, Krells, wars, turmoil, hate and revenge the Prophecy of the Kings Dragon Rider continues the saga and allows readers to know that our world and their world are any different. Warring factions fight for control, deceit, lies and betrayals often win out but the end result just might surprise you.
Book Two begins allowing readers to hear the voice of Drachar, see handiwork and understand what some would do in order to become part of his minions and honor him. One young boy would sacrifice his life.
So many have died while they were asleep, many tortured and even burned to death at the hands of the Krell, peace has yet to be fully achieved and the enemy still awaits them. What will happen when they learn the fate of their loved ones. What about the world that they left and how will they deal with the one they now live in?
Rested, fed, reenergized and in better shape both mentally and physically the four realize that they must leave the sanctity of their cave.
Their journey is dangerous and the end result is startling as they arrive at their destination, Thrace, only to be held captive as spies. Meeting the King and his staff, the distrust for the four men runs high and their story seems bizarre, for they bring with them a tale of sighting an army of Krell. Astalus begins to have some doubts? Just who can be trusted? Kaplyn then creates a shock wave when he reveals his true identity. However, the King remains wary and his son, the Prince distrustful thereby sending Kaplyn to go on a forced peace mission that ends up anything but peaceful.
The Shaol of Drachar has it been summoned and will the Prophecy some true? We hear his voice, we see his handiwork and we learn from a stranger that an army from Trosgarth means Drachar is not far behind. Will the true king come back and what happened while these three were frozen in time? When Kaplyn realizes the truth behind what Vastra did and the fact that his stone is missing will he and the other three survive what happens next? The nightmare that follows will horrify the reader as Lomar has an outer body experience that is most terrifying but revealing adding more suspense to what will happen next.
Betrayals and lies seem to run within this world too as it does in ours today. Kaplyn faces nightmares, Lomar faces his past, and his life and his hope to save his family and town but can his experience do that? Are dragons really hunting Kaplyn? What do his dreams really mean? What about the Tallin Crown and what will the end result be? Terror, fear, violence, uncertainty and a war that is going and could destroy not only Thrace and his homeland Allund but others too. Is Drachar behind what is going to happen? What about another war with the Krell?
One wizard named Astalus would risk it all to save so many but can he? What he learns will enlighten the reader and the history behind the Eldric just the tip of the burning and charred bodies that were left in their wake as the hope of finding the portal to the other world seems dim and the final battle has yet to be fought. What happens at the end of book two is just part of what is yet to come in Book Three Shadow of the Demon. Just where is Drachar? Is his shade rising? Will the Prophecy be fulfilled?
A novel that reminds us of what is going on in the world right now where countries fight against countries. Enemies try to destroy the good and overtake the weak. Where terrorism seems to rule and the demons are out in full force in this fantasy world and in the world today. There are so many lessons to be learned by readers as author David Burrows takes us into the hearts and minds of four men who strive to find the answers to many have failed to learn. Where are the Eldric? Will the answers be found in what Astalus has learned? Will the end result bring the Eldric back? Who is the true ruler? What about all of the other Kingdoms? Will they unite and work together or is it every Kingdom for themselves? Will they learn they have a spy in their midst and will that spy succeed? This is one novel/ Trilogy you won't put down until the final sword takes out the last demon, Krell, and the enemy is finally laid to rest and that's only up to our amazingly talented author.
