The Dragon Rising

War is coming to the North whether it wants it or not. They are ill-prepared fragmented and unenthusiastic about the prospect - unlike their opponents. As the powerful joint Kingdom of Turnobae-Galorndan scrambles to forge an alliance that will give them the men to oppose the Sword Bearers' Army what they need most is time... Rather than face a massive army of religious fanatics who have found a symbol to rally behind the Burning Rose are sent into Ras Natara on a twofold mission. First a diplomatic approach to the Sultan to persuade him to diffuse the situation before it gets out of hand. Then a clandestine trip into the heart of the Nataran desert to find the prophecised dragon and kill it.
