Dragons rule the world, united under their powerful dragon-king. Humans struggle to survive as slaves, pets, and prey. One man, the mysterious Bitterwood, strikes at dragons from the shadows, fighting a long, lonely war of resistance. When Bitterwood is blamed for the death of the dragon-king's son, the dragons launch a full scale campaign to rid the world of the legendary dragon-slayer—even if they must kill all of mankind to do so.
BITTERWOOD can be read as a stand-alone novel or as the beginning a four book epic saga exploring the full war between dragons and mankind. All four books, plus a prequel short story, can be found in the omnibus BITTERWOOD: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION.
