A top-portal traveling saga inspired by Tolkien and George R. R. Martin.

An action adventure series about a coming of age boy and his extraordinary rebirth into a dragon.

From now on he’s got two hearts beating in his scale-clad chest and mighty wings behind his back. In the faraway planet of two moons he was born again as a dragon…

Being unwillingly stuck in a scientific experiment, Andy gets teleported to a faraway planet Ilanta, both inhabited by humans and supernatural beings. Andy gets no warm welcome… mortally wounded, he chooses to proceed with an ancient ritual to be reborn as a dragon, a.k.a. a Master of Heaven.

From now on, he has to take part in all kinds of exciting adventures and gloomy challenges, mastering his newly developed magic skills, befriending orcs, elves and dragons, fighting a good fight and, eventually, continuing on his quest for justice reincarnated as a dragon.

He is to go a long way before getting used to his new body and mastering his newly achieved powers. To defend the weak and to restore justice he will go through fire and water, suffer from intrigues, conspiracy, betrayal, and even an interplanetary war started by the royals. A sudden appearance of a representative of an extinct dragon race was not included in their plans.

Little does he know that he is destined to play an integral part in an epic conflict that is to break out soon when the future of the two planets will be decided…

AUTHOR BIO

“Neither a Tolstoy nor a Chekhov”, sci-fi and fantasy author Alex Sapegin always loved the freedoms afforded by the fantasy genre and has been an admirer of dragon might ever since he first read of Smaug’s sorry but just end.

A special flair for storytelling emerged in his youth, when his peers would eagerly listen to his action-packed stories with their many twists and turns. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before his friends and family persuaded him to put pen to paper, which proved to be a life-changing decision.

His creative energy has since known no bounds and thus Alex has carved a unique path, in worlds both real and imagined. An electrical engineer by education, he has enjoyed an extensive career in tunnel construction and the railway industry, whilst always finding time for his joy of writing.

Alex Sapegin launched onto the Russian sci-fi and fantasy scene in 2010 with his first epic fantasy novel Becoming the Dragon, now available in English, German and Spanish, and was met with instant success in his native Russia, the post-Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. Upon reaching bestseller status, the tale was shortly followed by four more instalments in the series: Wings On My Back, A Cruel Tale, Crown of Horns and Home At Last.

Alex Sapegin is also the author of The Clash, The Pet Story and Diaries of the Morph. He lives in Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East with his wife, two children, pet parakeet and overconfident tomcat and, when not crafting new worlds and adventures, he enjoys spending time with his children, skating and fishing.
