Tales of The Dragon Slayers Society
The dragons of Albion are not beasts. They are fear, greed, guilt and despair given scale and fire. These are the tales of the men and women who walked toward them.
Forty-two tales. One realm. One war against the shadows within.
Albion is a realm of ruined citadels, cursed forests and ancient oaths, where an order of knights called the Dragon Slayers Society hunts dragons that wear the faces of human weakness. Eadric of Blackmere carries the spine of the story; around him gather healers, rogues, flamecallers, wanderers, keepers and traitors, each with their own tale.
Every story here is free to read, and every one has been narrated as an audiobook on the Tales of TDSS channel.
Eadric of Blackmere
The last of the Concordium, founder of the Society, and the sword the dragons of Albion learned to fear.
He is not a hero because he is fearless. He crosses the Bridge of Doubts, the Gate of Shadows and the Cavern of Embers with his fear intact, and wins because he refuses to let it steer. His defining wound is the first Siege of Ravenspire, where he ordered the retreat that saved the survivors and cost him Kael and Ysella. Every dragon he faces afterward finds that wound and presses on it.
