Appointed e-book
When 17-year-old Shawnahur helps a dragon, his fate is altered, and the chief takes him under his wing, But the chief’s jealousy could mean Shawnahur’s death.
Seventeen-year-old Shawnahur longs to be more—to do more—than just herd wooly ducks. If that means he can make his brothers proud of him, all the better. He doesn’t think much of it when he helps a wounded dragon, but suddenly, he’s gaining popularity.
First the chief’s mage shows up declaring Shawnahur dragon king of a nonexistent kingdom. Then he receives a summons from the chief’s household to be the chief’s personal musician, which shows him a side of the warrior he’d never expected. However, a naive choice in friends leads to more scorning by his older brothers.
With the clans united against a common enemy, Shawnahur’s brothers march to war. When Shawn takes supplies to his brothers, he unwittingly walks into a battlefield, and with his dragon’s help, defeats the champion.
As Shawnahur’s successes mount, the chief’s approval turns to jealousy. Shawn soon finds himself on the wrong end of a glaive more times than he can count. Now he only longs to stay alive; pleasing his brothers and herding would be a life of ease.
