Dragonslayer Books in Order

The Dragonslayer trilogy drops classic dragon slaying into a kingdom that has almost forgotten what real dragons look like. A thousand years after the last of them supposedly died, the great beasts survive only in stories, old songs, and the battered armour of men who built their reputations on killing them.

Guillot dal Villevauvais, once one of those men, has fallen a long way. Once a knight of the King’s elite guard and a member of the Silver Circle, he is now a disgraced noble living on the edge of his ruined estate, too familiar with the bottom of a wine cup. When rumours surface that a dragon has been seen again, Gill is dragged back into service less because anyone believes in him and more because there is no one else left who knows how to fight such a creature.

On the other side of the kingdom, a young woman named Solène narrowly escapes being burned as a witch when her uncontrolled magic flares in public. The same powers that almost get her killed soon make her valuable. Brought into Gill’s orbit, she brings raw sorcery to a hunting party that would otherwise have only steel and stubbornness to rely on.

Presiding above them all is Prince Bishop Amaury of Mirabay, a churchman and politician whose hunger for power runs deeper than anyone around him suspects. As Gill and Solène follow the trail of an awakened dragon, Amaury pursues his own designs, seeking relics and rituals that can twist both magic and faith to his advantage. The question of who the real monster is lingers over each encounter.

The second book, Knight of the Silver Circle, pushes Gill back into the life he thought he had left behind. Dragons are no longer a rumour, alliances shift with each fresh betrayal, and the line between enemy and ally grows thin. Solène struggles with the scale of her abilities and the cost of using them, while the Prince Bishop’s quest for greater power takes on a life of its own.

In Servant of the Crown long laid plans finally come to fruition. The king lies dying, Amaury’s grip tightens around the capital, and dragonkind faces a fight for survival. Gill and Solène are forced to choose what service to the crown really means when the crown itself has been twisted out of shape.

Readers coming to Dragonslayer can expect a fast moving mix of dragon hunts, political scheming, and found family, all set in a faux French world that pairs sword and sorcery with courtly backstabbing.
