Father of Dragons (The Binding of the Blade, Book 4)

Malek has raised an army and is ready to unleash his forces against the population of Kirthanin. While desperate missions are undertaken to secure the safety of the Continent, Malek has one final score to settle. A boy with unusual powers now wields the staff of the great prophet Valzaan. The mission: to find the boy and destroy him. Meanwhile Aljeron embarks on a mission: to find the Father of Dragons. Finding the boy will seal Malek's victory, and finding the legendary dragon is the only hope for Kirthanin.

"You're about to enter the gyre of the Father of Dragons. You're about to set foot where no man has gone before, and I suggest that you not do so lightly. Sulmandir, if he is alive, could kill all of us in an instant. Where we are going, even I have not gone before. Keep quiet, and keep close."
