About This Book
In a world where Dragons rule with absolute power, one wrong move can make you prey. Anuka Sandbar already has dragon blood on his hands and a hunter's patience closing in behind him. The only way forward is through — into a forbidden ruin, alongside thieves and cutthroats, chasing an artifact dangerous enough to matter. The Eye of a Dragon raises the stakes established in the first book and charges headlong into them, threading urgency with the kind of loyalty and desperation that make fantasy feel genuinely alive.
What sets this second installment apart is how Adkins balances momentum with texture. The pages move quickly, but the world never feels thin — Dorwine has history, danger has weight, and the characters carry enough complexity to earn the risks they take. Adkins writes action with clarity and tension without melodrama, and the dungeon-heist structure gives the story a satisfying shape that rewards readers who love both high-stakes adventure and carefully built lore. At 407 pages, it earns every one of them.
