A Story from the On Wings Saga

Prequel to On Wings of Thunder

Every story has a beginning….Dragons. Angels fear them and demons follow them. Formidable beasts of incredible power, they fight each other to the death for dominance. But dwindling dragon numbers cause alarm among the angelic ranks. Surely when the dragons have finished killing each other, the victors will search elsewhere for conquest… maybe even the Upper Realm.

Roland, an angelic artist of significant talent, doesn’t know what to believe. Part of him longs to see a dragon in person, and his peaceful life of contentment is wearing thin. He wants passion, desire, adventure, and love. He gets more than he bargained for when he and his sister are ambushed and captured by demons, and they bring him to a creature who surpasses Roland’s wildest imaginings.

But the mighty dragon Asagoroth is not all that he seems. Something sparks between him and Roland. Something neither anticipated. Something that will shake the cosmos to its core.

REVIEW:

When I first read On Wings of Thunder, I think I bawled off and on through the whole thing. The anguish, the hatred, being told you’re unworthy, just everything. It was such a book of push and pull. Trystan trying to understand his place in the world after not belonging for so long and not understanding that even though he is a part of Roland, he’s still Trystan.

Well this is Roland’s story and how it all came about and I think I cried even worse. To go from being this artist, but knowing you’ve always been different. You see things differently, feel differently. And what is supposed to be a thing of horror was actually, for Roland, and a thing of beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and Roland saw it in the demons. Especially Asagoroth. He was drawn to him and they became friends. While being shunned and taunted for it Roland continued to befriend the demons and Ass, because he saw they weren’t the awful creatures the angels made them out to be. There’s more to this story. But before things could be further found out. Roland was taken. And he was to be executed. If only Roland can find a way out of this and before Asa destroys EVERYTHING.

Never judge a book by its cover. Everyone afraid of Asa. Rightly so, but there’s so much more to him. And Roland saw that. He saw that with the demons. And it’s such a shame people are shamed because of class, sex, color, Creed, race and etc. We’re all supposed to be different. We were made to be different. And when they wouldn’t let Roland and Asa just be, it became something that could have been easily avoided. *Sigh* greed, power and things you don’t understand will cripple you. 

But this is an amazing book and series. I hope to see Trystan and Asa again.
