Drachar, banished by his own people, forges an unholy alliance with the demons by offering them ten thousand souls, but the demons demand one hundred thousand and without quibbling Drachar accepts.
Only all out war will deliver so many souls and the old enemy, Trosgarth, is his only potential ally, but he must cross the land to confront their king and persuade him to his cause. Drachar has the power of the demon world at his command, but madness threatens when the demons plague his dreams, demanding souls.

Drachar’s Demons an Epic Fantasy Tale
The Prophecy of the Kings is a moving story that's been described as bitter sweet. It follows Kaplyn, an Allund prince, who naively seeks an adventure before the tedium of court destroys him. He is swept into a furious cascade of events that sees his life completely upturned. A sorcerer, Vastra, recruits him to seek an Eldric talisman, but Vastra is greedy and lusts for power. Their journey traces the route the Eldric took hundreds of years ago and ends deep in the heart of a mountain where an ancient power resides. A cataclysm of forces disrupts the very foundation of the worlds and a rent in the fabric of space allows the spirit of a dead emperor to cross the Divide. Not content with destroying one world his ghostly gaze now alights on another. An epic fantasy set in a unique world as dragons, demons and guardian angels are set to clash.

Book 1 - Legacy of the Eldric, Epic Fantasy
Kaplyn awakens in a cavern and at first his memory seems to be playing tricks on him. Dragons haunt his dreams and yet dragons do not exist. Whenever he sleeps he dreams that dragons are hunting him and only a thin veil separates him from them. Terror stalks his nightmares and fear walks hand in hand in his waking life. All is not as it seems. He, Lars and Lomar have survived their underground sojourn, but something is not right. Once allies, Thrace and Allund seem to be on the precipice of war. A war that strikingly has all the hall marks of Trosgarth, the ancient enemy. Drachar too seems implicated. Is the Prophecy coming to pass and is a Second Krell War imminent? Disaster seems to be about to strike, for the Eldric have gone and with them the only means to fight the demons. A war is coming. A war like no other.

Book 2 - Dragon Rider by David Burrows
Events are coming to a head. The battle for CarCamel has ended and Kaplyn is seen as the saviour. Catriona, the Thracian Queen, wants him to lead the army in its fight against Trosgarth, leading the army with a dragon at his command. Kaplyn, however, has other ideas. He fears dragons and does not know why. His dreams remain plagued by the great serpents, but yet one helped them. It is a conundrum and Kaplyn decides to pursue an image shown to him by Astalus, the Thracian wizard. The image was of Vastra, now an old man, held captive in Aldrace. Kaplyn harbours a terrible fear. Vastra recovered a crystal from the Tree of Life and, with it, he can open a gateway to the demon world. A permanent one! Should that happen then nothing can prevent Drachar’s Shade from crossing the Great Divide, at the head of a demon horde.

The ending is quite exceptional, poignant and more than a little bittersweet. Shadow of the Demon is a triumph of high fantasy, a rich, rewarding end to a phenomenal series and should not be missed. Sfbooks.com
Drachar's Demons is set 500 years prior to the Prophecy of the Kings. The premise of both tales is that in 500 year cycles the worlds come sufficiently close for demons to cross the great Divide. Drachar is an Eldric Lord and he forms an alliance with the demons in exchange for souls. One hundred thousand to be exact. His people find out and it becomes a race to stop him and counter the growing demon threat. The Krell Wars end this period of history and bizarrely the Eldric vanish from the land, the entire race and with them depart their Narlassar Sorcerers who were so important in countering the demon threat.
Prophecy of the Kings is set 440 years after the Krell Wars. There are growing signs that demons are crossing the Divide, but people are unwilling to face the growing threat. History is not documented and the Eldric, who would have been more knowledgeable, have mysteriously vanished. The scene is set for a cataclysmic clash of powers for the Tree of Life is found and on its fossilised branches are crystals containing the essence of pure magic. With one, a permanent gateway to the demon world can be opened and all the forces of Hell let loose on the world.
Into this mix add dragons, but are they to be trusted. Kaplyn’s dreams are haunted by the fear of them. Saviour or damnation. Which will he chose as the drumbeat of war grows ever louder?
