Dar Tania: How the First Priestess of Tiamat Arose and Founded the Dragon Empire of Morbattania - Paperback

by Eric K. Barnum (Author)

Thousands of years have passed with the dragon god Alerius watching over his many tribes of barbarians eastward on the Forsaken Isles. Waiting for just one of them to hear his mother's voice, he has guided and driven his people to be worthy of their name - Morbat, children of dragons. Dar Tania, daughter of the Tribe of Horses is the first to face her Coming of Age test, pray to the Mother, and have that prayer answered. She becomes the first priestess of Tiamat and joins herself to Alerius' dream of building an empire of divine warriors. This book sets the stage for the rest of the Forsaken Isles series. Dar Tania is followed by Malcor's Story, set 1,800 years after this one.

Author Biography

I began playing fantasy games and reading fantasy/sci-fi with Tolkien's "The Hobbit" as an 8 year old. I loved it. Even loved the Rankin Bass 1970's cartoon about it, though it hurts to see that now. I can still sing "The Greatest Adventure" song from that animated movie. As I wrote and told stories, played various role playing games - you may notice elements from Dungeons & Dragons in my writing - I never stopped believing in a world of magic.
