Final volume in epic dragon trilogy

Stephen Deas is a busy man. It was March 2009 when he published his debut novel, The Adamantine Palace. A review of that book, which I thought was great, can be found here. Only a year later, the sequel, King of the Crags came out (reviewed here), followed by another novel outside this series only months later. The next novel, The Order of the Scales, will be published on May 19 of 2011. That’s four books in little over two years.

The Order of the Scale will finish the trilogy that started with The Adamantine Palace and King of the Crags, and promises to be just as epic, if not more epic than the other two books. It will contain all the elements of the other books, like dragons – hundreds of them, this time, and with a vengeance – and political intrigue. Or, like Deas jokingly states: the book could probably benefit from the addition of an occasional chapter where no major characters are killed and nothing gets burned down.

Here’s the blurb that you probably shouldn’t read if you plan on reading the prequels first. What you should check, though, is the truly amazing cover art. It isn’t the final art yet, but we won’t let that stop us from adoring it.

As the various factions fight for control of the Adamatine Palace, mankind’s nemesis approaches. The realms dragons are awakening from their alchemical sedation and returning to their native fury. They can remember why they were created and they now know what mankind has done to them. And their revenge will be brutal.

As hundreds of dragons threaten a fiery apocalypse, only the Adamantine Guard stand between humanity and extinction. Can Prince Jehal fight off the people who want him dead and unite their armies in one final battle for survival?

Noted for its blistering pace, awesome dragons and devious polticking Stephen Deas’s landmark fantasy trilogy moves to a terrifying epic conclusion in The Order of the Scales.

Oh, and did I mention that Deas recently signed another multi-book deal? He’s probably trying to overwhelm us with books. That alone should be reason enough to be a fan.
