Product Description
From the "New York Times" bestselling co-author of the "Dragonlance "novels...the stunning conclusion to "The Annals of Drakis." It appears that an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled as the human named Drakis--formerly one of countless warrior-slaves to the elves of the Rhonas Empire--returns from his quest in the North. Flying into the rebel camp with his surviving companions on the backs of the legendary dragons that were once humankind's most powerful allies, Drakis is hailed as the champion of all the slave races. But it is not a prophecy that drives Drakis in his war against the elves and their emperor. Rather it is his burning desire for revenge against the cruel ruler whom Drakis believes has stolen any chance he has for finding peace. And this hatred will set Drakis and his rebel army on a path that may not only bring down the emperor, but Drakis and his entire world as well....

great fantasy
31 July 2012
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The five heroes arrived on dragons but it is the human Drakis on Marush who has rallied the diverse rebel species like the manticore, dwarves and humans, etc. to revolt against their oppressive conquerors the elves of the Rhonas Empire. Drakis is considered the Man of Prophecy who will lead the overthrow of the Rhonas Empire. However, he is a man with doubts and a heavy heart as he has seen personally the cost of the insurrection with the death of his beloved Mala. Without Drakis as the rallying point the revolt will end in crushing defeat.
His fellow dragon riders (Lyric the human, Jugar the dwarf, Ethis the Ephidrian crimerian and Urulani the Forgotten Ones free human encourage him to take charge of the Army of the Prophet though each has their own hidden agenda for joining the freedom cause. However, the keys to victory especially deploying Drakis plan are Braun the human wizard who is working on negating the aether wells source of elven magical power and Soen the elven inquisitor seeking the truth though that outs him questioning the Imperial Will of Queen Chythal.
The final Annals of Drakis fantasy (see Citadels Of The Lost and Songs Of The Dragon) is a great tale due to the strong cast starting with the hero who has doubts sending so many to die (kind of like Ike leading up to D-Day). Drakis, encouraged by Urulani and Soen, begins to understand that "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend" (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) as he reluctantly leads the final encounter. Fast-paced with a strong cast, fans will relish this saga.

A good read

If your here it's because you read books 1 & 2. It's not disappointing. It had a good ending that works well with this series. I thought there could have been more in the middle of the book. All in all I liked all the books. I wasn't disappointed. Not Tracy's best work but fun to read .

If you liked Song of the Dragon, then you WILL like this book
28 Oct 2012
By Kurt A. Johnson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
In this sequel to Citadels of the Lost, Drakis is now back and waging his war against the elven Rhonas Empire. With his new dragon allies, the victories are beginning to come, and some are very satisfied with the massacres of elven armies. But, Drakis wants more than war, and killing, and death for all involved. Just what can he do to save his followers, and bring them the freedom they deserve?
But, there are more players in the drama of The Prophet than just Drakis, and they each have their own agendas. Each wants to pull the rebellion in their own direction, for their own purposes. Just what does this mean for the future of the entire world?
First off, I must say that I loved Song of the Dragon and Citadels of the Lost, and was very happy to get the final book in the series. I disagree that this book stands entirely on its own. If you don't read the first two books, you will lack a key understanding of just what Drakis is up to, and the ending will feel very muddy and unsatisfying. So, am I telling you to not read the book? Heavens no, I am telling you to read ALL THREE books! This is a great series, and you will love reading it from start to finish.
I like its interesting races, with the humans and dwarves being just what you would expect, but the elves being excitingly different. And, I really like the lion-man manticores and the four-armed chimerians. The story itself has lots of great action, with interesting magic and great fight scenes.
If you liked first two books of the series, then you WILL like this book. I highly recommend this wonderful series to all fans of great fantasy literature!
