Book 2 Dragon Rider. Traditional fantasy series by Author David Burrows - “mythical creatures, dragons, demons, imps, and wizards collide in a tale of demonic fantasy”
Traditional fantasy series with dragons and demons
Kaplyn’s mind is in turmoil. His dreams are haunted by dragons and yet dragons are a myth. Terror stalks his nightmares whilst fear plagues his waking life. He stumbles on an enemy army concealed in a forest on Thrace’s border and in terror flees. Yet, upon reaching the sanctuary of Thrace no one believes him, and he and his companions are thrown into the dungeons as spies. One-time allies, Thrace and Allund now seem on the precipice of war. A war that strikingly has all the hallmarks of Trosgarth, the ancient enemy.
Drachar, too, seems implicated. The enemy has been busy, and betrayal and assassination are set to defeat the Prophecy. Priests of Ryoch denounce the Old Ones and the Allund monarchy has been replaced by a council of leaders. Astalus the Thracian court wizard is set the seemingly impossible task of proving Kaplyn’s claims. Is the Prophecy coming to pass and is a Second Krell War imminent? Disaster looms, for the Eldric have gone and with them the only means of countering the growing demon threat.
Fantasy creatures abound as sorcerers, wizards, demons, krell, grakyn and dragons are set to clash in this sweeping tale.
Read genuine Reviews for Dragon Rider. A fantasy novel.
Dragon Rider manages to achieve the difficult task of improving on it's predecessor (no mean task) with a sweeping tale of high fantasy that will keep you hooked until the very last page. SFBook.com 
Dragon Rider moves the story along well and brings the story to a very interesting knife's edge. This novel will whet the appetite nicely for the conclusion in Shadow of the Demon. 7.8 out of 10 Fantasybookreview.co.uk
What it gave me was the type of story I did not want to put down and when I did, I looked forward to returning because I wanted to know what could possibly happen next. Dragonsheroesandwizards.blogspot.co.uk

Mastering Magic: Why Rules Make Fantasy Worlds Truly Believable
Some of the rules in Prophecy of the Kings
The difference between a sorcerer and a wizard
In my books a sorcerer can be much more powerful than a wizard. Sorcerers access magic via the spirit world. At the lowest level this is summoning elementals such as air and fire. These are pretty harmless and are small sprites that can cast minor spells to cause fire, help to grow crops etc. More powerful spells are cast by demons. An imp is the smallest and least significant demon, but it can give a sorcerer access to its much more powerful cousins and then beware for if a summoning goes wrong then the summoner is dragged screaming to hell.
Wizards are pathetic by comparison. Or at least some are. Wizards derive magic through a depository of magic, a well-if you like-within themselves. Wizards cast weak spells compared to a sorcerer who is prepared to summon a demon. However, a wizard who has a kara-stone is much for powerful that his cousins. A kara-stone is just that, a stone, but it can hold magic and much more than a wizard without a kara-stone.
Demons.
Demons are from a different realm. When the void between realms thins, which happens every few centuries, the more powerful demons can cross between worlds. Demons harvest souls to feed on, so they need lots of souls to last between vents when they can cross over.
Demons can cast magic and their spells are very powerful and duplicitous sorcerers craving power, seek that very magic.
Kara-stones.
No one truly knows what these are. Rumour has it that it is the remains of a dead wizard, their well of magic that has crystallized. There is even a tale that kara-stones are the remains of a deceased Kalanth, a demigod, but who would believe that. Demigods cannot die, surely?
Dragons
Now we have the crux of the issue. Again, dragons are from a different realm. Dragons have no magic, but why would they need it when they have flame and vitriol in their armoury. Dragons appear to be immune to magic, so as one sorcerer in my book asks herself “how do you kill a dragon?” Not an easy question to ask and much more dangerous to actually try.
