Part 1 The Rescue
Raven and the Guardsmen are trapped in the Vale of Stone, surrounded by dragons, with no way out. Raven can barely keep them safe even with her abilities. She can’t gather them all together and escape without losing most of them in the process. She needs help.
Carison, Janetha, and Deacon are stuck in Doricinth with no way to get to Raven in time. Their plan to attack the dragons at the Vale as an organized group has fallen apart. Their idea to use the fireproof Blackscale blood to give them an edge is useless now.
Or is it?
Is there a way to get to Raven after all? Is there a chance?
Whatever the outcome, Lemore has plans of his own. The amulet glows blue. And with a touch of his hand to the Diamondscale E’vira’tor, everything will change.
Part 2 Armed and Bloody
Raven and what’s left of the Guardsmen have been saved from the Vale of Stone. Now they are regrouping in Doricinth with Carison, Janetha, and Deacon. Their plans are made. It’s time to put them into play.
But you know what they say. Man plans for his next move while the Provider changes the rules of the game.
None of them make it to the Vale of Stone. The fight they were going to look for is coming to them.
Lemore has used ancient magic to swap bodies with the Diamondscale. He leads the dragons now. It is time for him to reclaim his Kingdom and conquer the realm. The dragons will follow him anywhere, so long as they think he is their Gi’tro’ro. Lemore is more than willing to play that part so long as it gets him what he wants. But it may be more than playacting. When he suddenly can understand dragon speak, he knows he has gained more than just an invincible body.
Carison and Raven are doing all they can to stop the threat Lemore has brought to the Realm. They know it may not be enough. What they don’t know, is that not everyone will make it through this fight alive.
Part 3 Ending
In the remains of the town of Doricinth, Carison and Raven watch as Deacon Winters carries Janetha’s lifeless body. Too many friends have been lost already. Now, another is gone.
The dragons that Lemore had gathered for his army are either scattered or dead. They will not follow the Diamondscale any longer. Something is different about him, something wrong. He looks like their Gi’tro’ro, but he is another kind of animal altogether.
He is the Butcher, Lemore.
As Lemore tries to regain his throne through ancient magic and by force, Carison, Raven, and Deacon fight to stop him on the eve of the crescent moon. Everything hinges on this moment. The fate of the Realm is in their hands, as are their own. Each of them knows they may have to die to stop Lemore.
And one of them just might.

Author Bio:
Ruth Ford Elward, a story teller of Mystery and Thrillers. “I love mysteries, whether it be solving a crime that’s been committed or finding a long lost artifact that could change the world or how to thwart a plot to regain a kingdom. Another love of mine is thrillers, because the pace is faster and the hero has to be more resourceful than the often better equipped villain,” says Ruth.
After years in the business world between managing a division for an international financial printing company, modeling in her spare time and later to performing esthetic treatments, Ruth decided her real passion lies in the world of writing.
“Writing keeps the mind sharp and gives me the opportunity to exercise my imagination to engage the reader,” says Ruth. “One of my greatest joys is to be able to lose myself in my writing. So my writing ranges from Mystery, Suspense, Thrillers which includes the areas of International Mystery and Crime, Paranormal Mystery, Spy Thrillers and Speculative Fiction to the various challenges of aging in Non-Fiction.”
Ruth lives in Colorado and enjoys biking, golfing and ballroom dancing in her spare time.
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?It’s not what but who inspired me to write. Since most people know Katie Couric from her television career, with her long stint on “The Today Show” and more recently with her own talk show, Katie ‘Talk That Matters’, you may find it strange that I as a fiction author, consider her a writing inspiration.
She may be most famous for writing an extremely touching book about her husband’s death from colon cancer, when in fact, she’s actually written over a dozen books.
To date, Katie has written numerous books for adults and children alike. She touches on topics that most other authors wouldn’t dare. In addition, she’s also co-authored many books on health, fashion, and social issues.
