The Prince of Dragons by Tameri Etherton (previously published as The Darathi Vorsi Prince)

To become a hero, sometimes you have to go through hell.

An oath made, a promise broken.

Rhoane always knew he was destined to protect the savior of his people, a woman prophesied to restore balance to his world. The promise he made as a child proves difficult to honor as a young, impetuous man.

Cast out as an exile from his family and home, he wields his rage like a well-honed dagger. Beyond the borders of his kingdom he discovers a world filled with violence and beauty. With carnal temptations before him, Rhoane struggles to reconcile his fate. If he doesn’t uphold his oath, his future love will fail before she’s even born.

The Prince of Dragons begins the Song of Swords epic fantasy adventure about honor, family, and unconditional love in the face of mortal danger.
