The author really knows how to keep your attention the whole way through." -Amazon review "Scott Appleton does it once again!! He masterfully weaves a tale in his newest book Shards in Belial! For any fantasy fans this is MUST HAVE to place in your library! Appleton brings action, drama, romance and magic alive in this newest novel set in the world of the Sword of the Dragon series.
I had a very hard time putting this book down for even a moment. Appleton is a master of his art and this book sweeps the reader off their feet and pulls them along the journey of the two main heroes.
Great origin story to a beloved character in his Sword of the Dragon series!!" -Amazon review
