The Iron Prince

The Lost Firebreather, Book 2

By: D M Gilmore

Narrated by: James Scott Spaid

“It is imperative that we snuff out this spark of hope.”

A single failure has turned Prince Pike’s world inside out; stripped of rank and expelled from the military academy, his world crumbles further as his father issues a command to the imperial scions: “Enya, Princess of the Firebreathers, must die.”

Meanwhile, Ash is on a new journey all his own. His aunt Enya has made a home for herself in the Earthshaper Fiefdoms, so with Scout and Albuca by his side, that is where he’s headed. But the road is rough, and if Ash wants to make it to the Fiefdoms, they’ll have to travel through the perilous deserts of the Burning Lands.

Emperor Bladesteel’s edict rings in Pike’s ears: if Ash makes it to Enya, the scattered Firebreathers will unite in a flaming rebellion that would burn the empire to cinders.

But does Pike have it in him to kill another dragon?

It’s a race against time to make it to Enya. Joined by old friends and new allies, it is a journey they must make if they wish to determine the fate of The Iron Prince.
