The legion of flame - Anthony Ryan

The Legion of Flame is the action-packed second novel in the
Draconis Memoria series - an enthralling epic fantasy of magic,
adventure and the furious battle to forge an empire.

Claydon
Torcreek has survived drake-infested jungles, hostile tribes and the
cold touch of betrayal - yet his troubles have only just begun.

The
legendary white drake - believed to be nothing more than a myth - has
awoken from its long slumber, with a thirst to reduce the world of men
to ashes.

One city has already fallen to the drake's formidable
legions. More will follow, unless Clay can uncover an ancient secret
that lies buried beneath the southern ice.

Once again Clay must
face unthinkable danger, and this time he carries not just the hopes of
his own nation, but the fate of the entire world.
