An epic war between dragons and mankind!

Dragons rule the world, united under their powerful dragon-king. Humans struggle to survive as slaves, pets, and prey. One man, the mysterious Bitterwood, strikes at dragons from the shadows, fighting a long, lonely war of resistance. When Bitterwood is blamed for the death of the dragon-king's son, the dragons launch a full-scale campaign to rid the world of the legendary dragon-slayer -- even if they must kill all of mankind to do so.

The e-book edition includes the prequel short story "Tornado of Sparks." BITTERWOOD can be read as a stand-alone novel or as the beginning of an epic saga exploring the full war between dragons and mankind.

The original core trilogy of Bitterwood, Dragonforge, and Dragonseed, plus the prequel novel Dawn of Dragons and other bonus content, can be found in the omnibus BITTERWOOD: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION.

There's also a spin-off trilogy, Dragonsgate: Angels, Spirits, and Devils, where dragons and humans must unite to battle the planet devouring Waste-Wyrm.
