The Emerald Guardians - Hougun Manor by Josiah Cornell
A groundbreaking dark epic fantasy that is as immersive as it is gripping.
When war-scarred warrior Talon Valskar forges an unbreakable bond with the last emerald dragon, Myrcanthor, he is thrust into a destiny he never sought. Together, they must defend Hougun Manor, a living fortress rooted in Britain's ancient ley lines-against the rising power of Daegrith, the Dream-Eater, whose twisted sorcery threatens to unravel the fabric of the world itself.
As Talon endures three harrowing trials-courage, wisdom, and sacrifice, he is stripped of everything he thought he was. What remains is a man caught between vengeance and duty, and a dragon bound to him by shared breath and heartbeat. Their fate is inseparable, their choices devastating.
Blending dazzling myth, raw human struggle, and unrelenting suspense, The Emerald Guardians - Hougun Manor is an unputdownable page-turner. It reimagines the dragon-human bond in a way that is both innovative and timeless, creating a fantasy that feels startlingly unique in today's landscape.
This is fantasy that is not only captivating but also terrifying in its scope, exploring power, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be bound to something older than gods themselves.
Fans of The Witcher, The Poppy War, and The Priory of the Orange Tree will find themselves drawn into a world of myth and ruin, where every choice comes at a cost and no victory is without scars.
Josiah Cornell delivers a debut that is intense, emotional, and unforgettable. A true must-read for lovers of dark, character-driven fantasy.
