Book Title: Shadow of Legends
Series: The Dragonforged Saga
Series Book #: 1

Case cover & typography: Rachel St. Clair


Book Description

Forged in dragonfire, a new legend is born.

The tyrant gods have fallen. Dragons have returned. Monarchs scrabble for power while greater threats seethe in the shadows.

Leras Venaliel rises to meet these challenges. A half-elf prince, his mixed heritage and stunted sorcery has earned him scorn from his subjects.

Yet within him smolders a dormant power. A magic only dragons should wield.

Upon receiving a summons he cannot refuse, Leras embarks on a quest to save his people with allies both loyal and deceitful. Every step shapes him into the champion he must be.

Only forged in dragonfire can he withstand the trials to come…


Shadow of Legends: Epic Dragon Fantasy | Special Edition

Welcome to the campaign for Shadow of Legends! This is an all-new book of mine launching here on Kickstarter, and the first to feature a favorite aspect of fantasy literature: dragon riding.

Shadow of Legends is the first book in the upcoming Dragonforged Saga, the sequel series to the Legend of Tal series that launched my authorial career.

This will be no ordinary book. Right at launch, you’ll get exclusive access to the premium, alternate-art edition of the book—to say nothing of the gorgeous standard edition in paperback.

Note: While this is the sequel to the Legend of Tal series, never fear if you’ve not read it! Shadow of Legends can be read independently of Legend of Tal.

Thanks to our partnership with Merrick Books, we’re able to print to standards of quality only matched by the highest end of products from traditional publishers.

Follow the campaign so you don’t miss the launch!

About the Author

J.D.L. Rosell was swept away on a journey when he stepped foot outside his door and into The Hobbit, and he hasn’t stopped wandering since. In his writing, he tries to recapture the wonder, adventure, and poignancy that captivated him as a child. His explorations have taken him to worlds set in over a dozen novels and five series, which include Ranger of the Titan Wilds, Legend of Tal, The Runewar Saga, and The Famine Cycle.

When he’s not off on a quest, Rosell enjoys his newfound hobby of archery and older pastimes of hiking and landscape photography. But every hobbit returns home, and if you step softly and mind the potatoes, you may glimpse him curled up with his wife and two cats, Zelda and Abenthy, reading a good book or replaying his favorite video games.
