Daughter of The Ageian: ONE (The Dragon Wars Saga Volume One) by Visser, Marius H | Paperback | Fantasy

An epic fantasy novel that starts the series off with a bang! Worlds collide in this adventure when Beuneth loses her lover in a daring attempt to steal a Balamuth - a prison for dragons until they become bonded with a chosen host. During her quest to find her lover she befriends a warlock to aid her in her quest. But things do not always go as planned... The Balamuth is the most powerful magical artefact in the world, and Beuneth would do anything to acquire it — even kill. But not for her benefit; the Balamuth is half her beloved’s soul, and a dragon’s essence horribly ripped away before he wascrippled and cast into a bottomless pit. Following him, she emerges in the far future, when dragons are naught but legend. After absorbing the soul of the last Ageian Gatekeeper — who enslaved thousands of dragons in her time — she enlists the aid of a former enemy warlock and a mercenary prince, heir to the throne of a murdered king. Together, they cross time to free the dragons, only to be hounded back to the future by a mad king and his army, who lay siege to the desperate city where Beuneth and her allies have taken refuge.
