About This Book
In a galaxy still raw from ancient wounds, Bud finds himself at the center of something no one has attempted in living memory: rebuilding the Dragon Host. The dragons are real, the war with the Keerah is ongoing, and the stakes couldn't be higher — but Ellis grounds all of it in a character who has grown, hardened, and learned when not to reach for anger. This is a story about what it means to carry responsibility for entire peoples, to step into a role that history forgot, and to become something the galaxy didn't know it needed again.
Ellis writes with the confidence of an author deep inside a world he genuinely loves, and that affection shows in how the mythology breathes without being over-explained. The pacing is tight — 249 pages that don't waste a scene — and the dynamic between Bud and the dragons carries genuine warmth rather than fantasy-genre formula. Readers who have followed this universe will find the payoff satisfying; newcomers will find enough grounding to care. It's military science fiction with real heart underneath the action.
