The Rage of Dragons
The Rage of Dragons opens Evan Winter's Burning series in a world where the Omehi people have been trapped in an endless war for nearly two hundred years. Their society is organized as a rigid caste system: the Gifted women who summon dragons and the transformed men who become larger, stronger warriors sit at the top, while the gift-less masses are sent to die as fodder. Tau Tafari is one of the gift-less, and he wants nothing more than to escape the fighting and settle into a quiet life. When betrayal costs him everything he loves, he trades that plan for revenge, dedicating himself to becoming the deadliest swordsman the Omehi have ever produced. Winter draws on his Xhosa ancestry to build an African-inspired world where oppression, caste, and vengeance power a story of relentless momentum.
