Description

For Captain Taliesin, service to the Crown has always meant danger, discipline and the occasional inconvenient attempt on his life.

But in a world where muskets crack, sabres flash, nobles scheme and ancient powers still stir beneath the surface of history, ordinary war is only the beginning. When duty pulls Taliesin into a conflict shaped by magic, monsters and the shadow of dragons, he finds himself caught between battlefield honour and forces far older than any kingdom.

The world of For the Crown and the Dragon is one of flintlock soldiers, political intrigue, deadly enemies and strange wonders, where courage may win a duel but not necessarily a war. As alliances fracture and supernatural threats rise, Taliesin must navigate a dangerous path through blood, loyalty, betrayal and myth.

This is a fantasy adventure of smoke, steel and dragonfire: a tale for readers who enjoy swashbuckling heroes, military fantasy, alternate-history worlds, aristocratic intrigue and battles where the enemy may be armed with more than powder and shot.

For the Crown and the Dragon launches Stephen Hunt’s Triple Realm series, blending flintlock fantasy, heroic adventure and epic danger into a world where crowns are fragile, dragons are not metaphors, and survival may depend on being quicker with both blade and wit.
