Dawn
of the Overlords
The
Val-Harra Saga Book 1
by
Kevin Potter
Genre:
Epic Fantasy
Dragons
are real.
A draconic apocalypse is poised to strike at
Humanity.
Just one wyrm stands in the way.
As
a young dragon living by the ideals of virtue and honor, Dauria
wanted nothing more than to live in peace and harmony with Humanity.
When that failed, she helped establish a pact that forced Dragonkind
into the shadows.
When she awakens after millennia of slumber,
she finds the Earth a very different place than she remembers. To
make matters worse, upon exiting her lair she finds herself stripped
of all her draconic power and left to freeze, in human form, on the
icy heights of her mountain home.
Someone doesn’t want her
to rejoin the rest of her kind. Someone sabotaged her from the moment
she awakened. Someone wants nothing more than to begin a full-scale
war between humans and dragons with the fate of the Earth in the
balance.
Somehow, Dauria has to find a way to overcome every
obstacle placed in front of her and make her way to the Dragon
Council. Who will prevent the coming war if not her?
But how
can she do that with no power and not even the strength of her dragon
form to aid her?

any human, if you enjoy rapid, page-turning suspense on the backdrop

Power
of the Overlords
The
Val-Harra Saga Book 2
Dragons.
They
exist, and have risen from their slumber to take the Earth back from
Humankind.
In
the aftermath of the Great Dragon War, a horrifying new power could
destroy everything...
The
subjugation of man should have brought an end to hostilities. It
should have brought an age of peace to the Earth.
It
didn’t. The hostile suspicion between dragons is worse than
ever.
Since
her failure to prevent the war, Dauria has all-but-lost her faith in
the compassion of Dragonkind. But still she hopes. She prays that one
day sanity will return to her people.
After
centuries in Antarctica, Dauria and her budding family sacrifice the
peace and stability of isolation to re-enter the deadly world of the
New Dragon War to right a wrong she is partially responsible
for.
The
group travels to her ancestral home in Japan in the hope of stopping
her brother's dark machinations. But when the family is separated,
Dauria risks more than just her sanity in her quest to reunite her
family and stop her brother's evil plans.
Will
she find a way to thwart her brother and retrieve her family, or was
the quest a lost cause from the start?
If
you've been waiting for a series that puts dragons front and center,
then look no farther! Kevin Potter's Val-Harra Saga is exactly what
you've been looking for.
Age of the
Overlords
The
Val-Harra Saga Book 3
In
a future Earth where dragons reign supreme and have only each other
to fear, is there any chance left for peace?
A
conflicted dragon. A Prophecy. And an ancient wyrm with a dark
secret...
Gravv
is not the dragon he once was. No longer an innocent. No longer an
idealist. Now he lives for little more than revenge. But in the
aftermath of the disastrous showdown in Japan, he and his sire must
meet with potential allies in the west.
Their
arrival is far less than peaceful, however, and those allies have
plans and secrets of their own. All is not well in this conclave of
metallic dragons, and nothing is what it seems.
Will
Gravv find a way to rise above his own prejudices and overcome the
machinations of new enemies, or will The Age of Extinction make a
victim of him as well?
Revenge of the
Overlords
The
Val-Harra Saga Book 4
Thousands
of years in the future, dragons rule the Earth.
Though the war
is far from over, the battle has been won. But at what cost?
Maalyys
is mourning for the losses in the last battle, but there is so much
yet to do. Without the support of the overlords, the Great Council to
save and unite all Dragonkind in peace will remain an unattainable
dream...
Bal struggles to correct the tyranny his island home
has lived in for centuries, but a prophetic nightmare shows him that
he must take an active role in his sire's plans for the
future.
Someone is working behind the scenes to sabotage the
council, and Bal fears a wyrm has unlocked an unheard of power that
will destroy them all.
When an unlooked-for miracle returns a
fallen hero to their lives, everything changes. Hope, so long absent
from the Earth, tugs at the hearts of both dragons.
But will it be
enough? Will anything be enough to overcome the darkness that
dominates all Dragonkind since the discovery of Essence
Theft?
Though they sometimes work at cross purposes, Bal and
Maalyys must work together toward their common goal lest one whom
they both love will suffer all the more for it.
Revenge
of the Overlords is the long-awaited culmination of the Metal
and Stone sequence, the first arc of the Blood of the Dragons series
that brings full circle the story of what happens when dragons rule
the Earth. Longer, deeper, and more epic than any of its
predecessors, this book will keep you up turning pages long past your
bedtime.
Hello,
reader! (sorry to defy conventions, but I can't stand writing about
myself in the third person. It's just weird.)
I
spend a good portion of my time masquerading as dragons larger than
some cities, but when I'm not doing that I like to spend my time
picking people's brains.
No,
no, I don't mean learning from their experiences, I like the taste of
brain matter!
Okay,
okay, I'll try to be serious for a minute (I can't promise for more
than one minute though).
I've
been a storyteller for almost as long as I can remember. It started
when I was nine. In school, we had an assignment to write a one-page
short story. That night, I wrote a nine-page "masterpiece"
about a magical pair of shoes and their journeys throughout the
western United States before finding an owner who would properly care
for and appreciate them.
From
there, my storytelling grew into DMing D&D games (and other
roleplaying games).
Naturally,
the games eventually led me to start writing stories.
I’m
not a full-time author (yet), though I am hopeful. Professionally,
I’ve done everything from technical support to restaurant
management to building custom gaming PCs.
I
live in Cottonwood Height, UT, with my wife and two beautiful
daughters who I’m certain are much smarter than me.
Expectations for the future
I’ve talked elsewhere (in my newsletter, among others) about how my original plan for the series was as a collection of 13 short stories that would be known collectively as The Calamity. I'm not sure I’ve ever spelled it out before, but obviously the original ideas have grown quite a bit since then.
For the near future, readers can expect two more books in the Blood of the Dragons series after Revenge of the Overlords, which will be published in the near future. Descent of the Overlords will be out next year, and depending on how quickly the writing goes, sometime either late next year or in 2022 I will be able to unveil the final book in the series, Fate of the Overlords.
For those familiar with my books, though, you’ll know that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
You see, Blood of the Dragons is, itself, little more than a prologue to my epic series, The Calamity. All of this comes before anything I ever envisioned telling when I first started.
I’m still planning on a 13-book series for The Calamity (making a total of 20 for the complete Val-Harra Saga), though that could possibly change depending on how things progress. I’m a very linear writer, and I don’t plan a whole lot in advance. It’s mostly just rough sketches in my head of things I think will happen and others that I would like to have happen. But almost all of it is subject to change.
I’m about 95% what I would call a Discovery Writer, but which most of the writing community calls a “pantser.”
Of course, now that I’ve said that, I can hear the questions. If I’m a discovery writer how do I know how many books it will be?
Well, it’s an estimate, really. Over time I’ve learned how to plan what I can accomplish in a book given my natural pacing, length, and how many characters I have. One of the things that’s going to lend to such a long series is that each book will introduce more and more characters. Just due to the nature of the series that’s unavoidable.
And, of course, once I finally finish the Val-Harra Saga, I have a contemporary supernatural suspense series just waiting to be (re)written. But that is another story altogether...
